Student Success Coaching
Student Success Coaching provides students from elementary school to university the opportunity to learn the tools and strategies they need in order to succeed, essentially helping them learn how to learn and make healthy choices. Focus is placed on strengthening executive function and academic skills to support the development of self-management, independence and self-esteem by integrating evidence-based strategies & a heartfelt approach rooted in attachment and emotion coaching.
What happens in a Coaching session?
Coaching sessions are tailored to meet the individual needs of students through the integration and application of crucial executive function skills and active learning methods. Students attend sessions on the same day at the same time each week and work with their coach to (1) learn strategies & skills, (2) implement what they've learned in a structured and accountable way, and (3) integrate what they've learned into their daily lives, eventually building independence. Focus is placed on:
Active Learning & Executive Function Skills: Active & critical thinking, situational awareness (understanding the space you’re in and your role in this space), flexible thinking, developing & managing healthy routines, managing electronics, emotional control, and self-monitoring strategies.
Organization & Time Management Skills: Managing materials and space, planning & prioritizing, using a visual planner to manage and track time, breaking assignments into small & manageable parts.
