ORLANDO, Fla. (July 30, 2009) --- PowerfulEducation Technologies, LLC was recently awarded a contract to coordinate a Leadership Training program at County Lake Achievers in Lake County.
Dr. Lesia L. Crumpton-Young, president and chief executive officer of PowerfulEducation Technologies, said the program will include 40 high school students and 10 young adults.
Dr. Crumpton-Young said the County Lake Achievers Leadership Training Program will incorporate many of the techniques tested in a pilot program PowerfulEducation Technologies recently completed at Union Park Middle School in Orlando involving boys and girls in grades six through eight.
“The focus of the program for boys is “You’ve got the Power, Turning your life around,” said Dr. Crumpton-Young. “For girls, the program focuses on “You’ve got the Power, Breaking the Vicious Cycle. These programs will help to empower these students,” she said.
The students are given a workbook that guides them through daily hours of concentration and study that encourage them to focus on principles like believing in yourself and learning from your mistakes.
Programs and protocols PowerfulEducation Technologies have developed can reduce teen violence, teen pregnancies, school dropouts and suicides, said Dr. Young, who is also a human factors engineering professor at UCF.
PowerfulEducation Technologies, LLC is a member of the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park
