PHILADELPHIA – August 24, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
The Alliance for Decision Education, a national nonprofit spearheading a movement to have decision-making skills taught in K-12 schools, announced the launch of an 18-month grant program aimed at preparing high school students for life after graduation.
The grant – Planning Your Path: A College and Career Decision-Making Incubator – is for high schools that want to bring Decision Education into their classrooms by designing programs that broadly impact the way students make decisions about careers and college.
“This program aims to help students navigate one of the most challenging and important decisions in their young lives: What to do after high school?” said Alliance Director of Education Megan Roberts. “Empowering students with key decision-making skills and processes will help them form better decisions and make them feel more confident in their ability to do so.”
The Alliance, supported by two Nobel Laureates and leaders in nearly every industry, has been working since 2014 to build and coalesce the interdisciplinary field of Decision Education, which draws on concepts from psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, and decision sciences.
Through the grant program, each selected school will appoint a team of 3-5 staff members to lead work on their projects, take part in professional development, and receive coaching from an Alliance Education Manager. School teams are expected to learn about Decision Education throughout the grant period, and projects will eventually be shared with a national audience.
The application window opens on August 22 and closes on October 7. Awards will be made in late October.

Recent release “What Ever Happened to REPENTANCE” from Covenant Books author Donald W. Broadhurst is a spiritual read sharing his own experience with having lost his way. When he repented, the Holy Spirit gave him the power to turn from his sins and turn to Jesus.
CALHOUN, Ga. – August 24, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Donald W. Broadhurst, a faith-based author, has completed his new book, “What Ever Happened to REPENTANCE”: a personal faith-based story of repentance.
Broadhurst shares, “Soon after I was saved, I knew in my heart the importance that repentance had played in my salvation, when by God’s grace the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin and allowed me to turn from my sin and my old self and turn to Jesus and become a new creation.
“Sadly today repentance is left out of the gospel message, even though Jesus commanded it. Today you don’t hear it preached or taught, though Jesus and his disciples preached repentance.
“Paul preached repentance. Jesus preached repentance, in the churches of Revelation. So whatever happened to repentance?”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Donald W. Broadhurst’s new book encourages believers to return to the messages of repentance taught and preached by Paul and Jesus so that they, too, may return to a path led by light and not fueled by darkness.

As a society in general, we need to understand the basis of our morality and culture, and how science and religion each have a role to play. Just a few of the types of questions answered are:
Is there really competition and conflict between science and religion?
What is the technological and philosophical scope of science?
How does our worldview affect the development of morality and virtue, both individually and collectively?
Do we really need to be concerned about global environmental changes?
Which type of worldview does the best job of providing answers to the tough questions on origin, purpose, environmental issues, morality, government, and eternity?
Is a belief in God and the Bible part of the evolutionary process.”
