Academic Coaching for Teens
It's very frustrating for teens and parents alike when grades are lower than they should be. Now that the school year is already half over, we need to spend some time looking at how to help these students turn around their grades around. Skills learned through academic coaching can translate easily to higher learning, work learning situations, and learning for fun.
How much time a student studies and does homework not as important as how much of that time is focused and efficient. If John spends an hour reading a text book in social studies but
can 't remember much the next day, he basically wasted an hour. However, if this same student spends a half hour using good study techniques, he invested his time wisely.
What are some of these techniques? Prereading, making note cards, drawing a mind map, and/or using a graphic organizer are all good ideas. There are different techniques for different learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic).
Pat Wyman has an e-book that helps students develop visual learning skills to match the style that most exams are given in. After reading her e-book, I am now teaching these skills to students whose primary learning style is not visual. You can order the book at http://tinyurl.com/yc33un
