Beginning a new school is an opportunity for students to review and reset their academic goals. From the very first day, every student can position themselves to ensure their success throughout the school year. Being positive, prepared, organized and proactive are just a few steps to feel self-confident and experience achievable goals.
Let’s look at a list of the key areas students can develop as their building blocks for optimum preparedness and performance:
- Study Habits-Maintaining legible notes can make a huge difference in a student’s ability to review and study material covered in class.
- Organization-Keeping those notes organized in sectioned binders or notebooks helps to keep class items in one place.
- Tracking Assignments-Another suggestion is using a planner or assignment tracker to stay on top of homework, as well as short-term and long-term assignments.
- Time Management-A student’s organizational skills will build the foundation for their study habits, assignment tracking and management of their time.
Once the building blocks are in place, each student will feel more confident and prepared. These building blocks, or executive functioning skills, are the basis for planning, organizing, initiating, and following through with tasks and assignments.
