Organizer The StudyPro
Organizer of The Power of Meditation for Less Stress (at Home and School!)
The StudyPro was created to fill a gap in the world of student learning.
Lots of smart students do well academically, yet struggle with managing increasingly rigorous coursework and homework demands. The skills required to manage these demands --and to become independent and effective learners --aren’t fully taught in school, but the expectation is that students have mastered them. These skills are known as Executive Function Skills.
This is where The StudyPro comes in. We help students build the critical "process" competencies that they need to succeed now, as well as to face the challenges of college, the workplace and life.
- INITIATION
- SELF-ADVOCACY
- LEARNING FROM MISTAKES
- PLANNING
- PRIORITIZATION
- TIME MANAGEMENT
The StudyPro offers a free speaker series to bring our community together, share valuable insights from experts, and try to help make parenting just a little bit easier.
