Improving Academic Effectiveness

Improving Academic Effectiveness  – April 9, 6:00-7:30 pm, Newton Free Library

Engaging Minds Learning Center (a local learning and tutoring center) has been instrumental in providing tools for students in order to help them learn effectively.  The basis of this program is to teach the idea of “executive function” and the skills which it embraces.   Executive functions are the essential self-regulating skills that we all use every day. They help us plan, organize, make decisions, shift between situations or thoughts, control our emotions and impulsivity, and learn from past mistakes.

This program is FREE and includes: an explanation of the term “executive function” and why these skills are important in school and in other aspects of education in today’s fast paced world, tips and strategies geared towards parents and teachers in order to help strengthen students’ skills, real life applications and take home toolkits to maintain effective learning.

Free, drop-in, no registration required. Two separate sessions, do not need to attend both.
