PHILADELPHIA – August 25, 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.

“Beyond Se Habla Español: How Lawyers Win the Hispanic Market” stems from the creativity and expertise of authors Natalie Fragkouli and Liel Levy, founders of the marketing agency Nanato Media based in Austin, Texas. The book addresses misconceptions about the ever-growing U.S. Hispanic market and empowers law firms to build digital marketing strategies that take cultural nuances into account. 

The ceremony took place at Los Angeles City College on Aug. 19 and 20. As the largest award in the United States celebrating greatness in Latino literature, the ILBA honored 249 winners in 108 categories, including Fragkouli and Levy’s intellectual creation. 

Fragkouli and Levy attended the ceremony in Los Angeles to receive the award. “We wrote this book to inspire consumer-focused attorneys to better engage their local Hispanic communities,” said Fragkouli during their acceptance speech. 

In the book, Fragkouli and Levy discuss the value of a dedicated Hispanic audience and explain why law firms should consider a digital-forward strategy to connect with potential clients and remain relevant for years to come. 

Topics covered in the book include:

●       The five distinct communities within the Hispanic market and what makes each unique

●       How to understand and properly use terms such as Hispanic, Latino/Latina, and Latinx

●       Why trust and empathy are important to Latinx clients

●       Why a digital-forward strategy is the most cost-effective approach to engaging with the Hispanic market thanks to widespread technology adoption

●       How to run a successful PPC campaign that generates qualified leads with a high conversion rate

Fragkouli and Levy also announced their upcoming literary project during the ceremony. “The next title we are working on is to promote entrepreneurship among Spanish-speaking immigrants in the U.S.,” Levy said. 

The ILBA is an initiative by Empowering Latino Futures (ELF) that celebrates Latino authors, translators, and illustrators for their books written either in English, Spanish and Portuguese. You can find the full list of this year’s winners here
