Review

"Phyllis T. Morgan, visionary, academic influencer, and former OUSD Principal has a wealth of information to share in this book about how parents can set up students for success! She led the way for one of the lowest-performing schools in Oceanside to become a Distinguished School. Trust her wisdom and commit to the strategies." - Margaret Malek, Teacher of the Year "School is a place where information is dumped onto our students. To really learn and understand what a child needs, practical hands-on experiences can be found in this book, Skillful Futures. Parents and children can experience learning together through shared experiences and practical hands-on enjoyment." - Deborah Sandoval, Middle School Counselor "Children are naturally curious about how the world works. Those with opportunities to explore changing future economies and industries and experiment, build, and connect to real-world experiences with guidance and support, will be best poised to meet the needs of our rapidly changing future economy and industries." - Erica Cox, Teacher of the Year "Skillful Futures offers practical guidance for parents and educators for how to prepare children to engage in experiences to further their opportunities in choosing a career. In the changing climate of careers in the 21st century, Ms. Morgan looks at various ways in which children can prosper within an educational setting that will meet the individual needs of a child to prepare them for various careers.

As we move to an ever-evolving job market, this is a must-read not only for parents but educators alike!" - April Marie Sheffield, Elementary Teacher "Many thanks to Oceanside Schools for your kind coins that supported "Kids for Peace" in raising money for building a complete Kids for Peace School for the orphaned and vulnerable children of western Kenya. Reiko Kenya, a nonprofit organization, particularly thanks Phyllis T.
