Our Children are Failing!!
What are we to do?
This latest report on the state of our nations education system is disappointing to say the least. Why are so many of our children still failing? What needs to be done to change this? How can we change this?
A Nation at Risk: The Imperative For Educational Reform is the title of the 1983 report of American President Ronald Reagan‘s National Commission on Excellence in Education. Its publication is considered a landmark event in modern American educational history. Among other things, the report contributed to the ever-growing (and still present) sense that American schools are failing miserably, and it touched off a wave of local, state, and federal reform efforts

Spellings Commission
2006
Secretary Spellings and former North Carolina Governor James B. Hunt at the announcement of the Secretary’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education
A significant motivation behind the Spellings Commission’s formation was the fear that the American higher education system is deteriorating and failing to prepare the American workforce for the rigors and competitiveness of the globalized marketplace. The Spellings Commission opens its report by stating that “higher education in the United States has become one of our greatest success stories.” but recently, as the commission bluntly states in its preamble, “[foreign higher education systems] are passing us by at a time when education is more important to our collective prosperity than ever.” The commission emphasizes the relationship between industry, education, and the government.
According to the commission, access to higher education “is unduly limited by the complex interplay of inadequate preparation, lack of information about college opportunities, and persistent financial barriers” (Commission Report 5). The commission blames the lack of communication between colleges and high schools as one source of the problem. The report states that “forty-four percent of university faculty members say students aren’t well prepared for college-level writing, in contrast to the 90 percent of high school teachers who think they are prepared” and “only 17 percent of seniors are considered proficient in mathematics, and just 36 percent are proficient in reading.”.

National Assessment of Education
2009
The results of the National Assessment of Education 2009, the National Report Card, was reported on October 14, 2009. After testing some 300,000 students nationwide the results are far less than encouraging. They reported that 61% of 4th graders are less than proficient (failing) and 66% of 8th graders are less than proficient (failing) in math. In reading the results are just as bad. Out of 500 points white 4th graders only averaged 258 correct and Hispanic 4th graders only averaged 222 correct.

In the past there have been many popular fad quick fix programs introduced into our school systems. They were all well meaning and great hopes were placed on them as they were embraced across this country. The fact is that almost every one of these innovations did work for one teacher in one classroom and then were blanketly applied to all classrooms. There was little or no real research done to validate these systems. The National Assessment of Education 2009 report has once again failed to validate these techniques, showing that they are not working.
As was pointed out in the Spellings Commission Report the answer is in communications, but that communication, in the classroom needs to be in a form that has a track record of over 50 years and has been proven to work in the scientific and business communities over and over. Doesn’t it make sense that with such a track record it’s about time that these communication techniques and skills entered the schools as well?

Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP, is the art and science that can be described in a nutshell, as an “attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques.”
First, the attitude of of Neuro-Linguistic Programming is one of curiosity and experimentation. Next, the methodology is modeling, which is the process of duplicating excellent behavior. Another person’s behavior can be duplicated by studying what that person 
does inside their head (language, filters, programs, etc.) to produce results. NLP was initially created in 1975 by Richard Bandler (on left) and John Grinder (on right), who began modeling and duplicating the “magical results” of a few top communicators and therapists. Some of the first people to be studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field. And finally, the trail of techniques created through this type of modeling is what is commonly known as NLP.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) presupposes that the behavior of an individual can be changed by the specific use of language and by constantly updating and upgrading an individual’s “mental software.” NLP allows you to change, adopt, or eliminate behaviors as you desire. It provides you with skills and the ability to choose your mental, emotional, and physical states at will. You learn how to improve your communication skills, internally and externally. This transforms your relationships and out comes.
NLP offers the greatest potential for us to change our lives, and to help others change theirs in the shortest amount of time.
With NLP, you learn to grow from every life experience, thus increasing your capacity to create a better quality of life. NLP provides you with a profound set of tools for personal and professional development. NLP has been successfully applied in a wide range of fields including business, health care, sport, therapy, education, and the performing arts.
NLP Coaching Works With Conscious Mind And Unconscious Mind For Integration
According to a team led by Professor Gerard Hodgkinson of the Center for Organizational Strategy, Learning and Change at Leeds University Business School, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and retrieve information on a subconscious level and so is a real psychological phenomenon which needs further study to help us harness its potential. (source ScienceDaily Mar. 6, 2008)
Through analysis of a wide range of research papers examining the phenomenon, the researchers conclude that intuition is the brain drawing on past experiences and eternal cues to make a decision – but one that happens so fast the reaction is at a non-conscious level. All we-re aware of is a general feeling that something is right or wrong.
“The driver couldn’t explain why he felt he should stop, but the urge was much stronger than his desire to win the race,” explains Professor Hodgkenson. “The driver underwent forensic analysis by psychologists afterwards, where he was shown a video to mentally relive the event. In hindsight he realized that the crowd, which would have normally been cheering him on, wasn’t looking at him coming up to the bend but was looking the other way in a static, frozen way. That was the cue. He didn’t consciously process this, but he knew something was wrong and stopped in time.”
Prof. Hodgkinson believes that all intuitive experiences are based on the instantaneous evaluation of such internal and external cues – but does not speculate on whether intuitive decisions are necessarily the right ones.
“Humans clearly need both conscious and non-conscious thought processes, but it’s likely that neither is intrinsically ‘better’ than the other,” he says. As a Chartered occupational psychologist, Prof. Hodgkinson is particularly interested in the impact of intuition over deliberate analysis when a swift decision is required. “We’d like to identify when business people chooses to switch from one mode to the other any why - and also analyze when their decision is the correct one. By understanding this phenomenon, we could then help organizations to harness and hone intuitive shills in their executives and managers.”
The research is published in the current issue of the British Journal of Psychology. The article comprises a critical review of previously published theory and research within psychology and the wider behavioral sciences..

Why NLP Coaching
- Ultimately every company’s success depends on the performance of its people. There is no substitute for human performance.
- The more highly performing a person is, the more they get paid, the more they are successful and rewarded.
- Coaching is an imperative for the success of an organization as well as of individuals.
- Coaching brings the best out of people, sharpens and perfects their already acquired skills as individuals, in teams and ultimately in the whole organization.
- Coaching has a great contribution to the fulfillment of a need or encouragement of the progress of an individual for a specific effort or purpose in the fact that brings the best out of the individual for the achievement of strategic significant projects.
- Coaching can assist in the growth and development of the professionals and leaders of tomorrow and certainly assists tremendously in enhancing productivity, improve job satisfaction and job longevity.
- Emotional well-being, awareness or emotions and ability to deal with them makes the difference between career stagnation or even failure and success and achievement – it can make or break a career.
- Emotional balance and positive emotions are directly related to the ability to be productive, resourceful, and effective.
- Coaching stimulates individuality – it allows the client or clients to decide for themselves the best approach in solving their problems, how to interact with their bosses, managers, customers, how to work individually or in teams, and ultimately how to proceed in their personal development.
- People are paid first for what they do. But as you move up the scale of corporate pay and responsibility, you do less. In business often, the more you do, the less you make. The highest paid people in business are paid for creating and holding in their mind the concept or the organization
NLP Coaching Vs. Traditional Forms Of Training
“The Training Process focuses on teaching the students how to perform something. Trainers are experts in their fields and teach people various processes, methods, and or skills, to do something in a predetermined manner. Trainers do not focus on you improving as a person. Generally speaking trainers only focus on teaching you a particular skill. Trainers and their clients generally form a loose teacher-student relationship that is not close and is not held confidential. With training, the students are instructed what to do and how to do it. They have little control over the process or outcome.” NLP Coaching training’s are designed to teach people how to discover and get in charge of the mental processes occurring naturally inside every individual. By learning how people think the student improves as a person. There is no better improvement than to have control over one’s internal processes. So, in fact the student has maximum control over process and outcome. In NLP Coaching everything is held confidential
