Strategies Are Your Superpowers: Executive Function Strategies for Middle and High School Students
A college student has a myriad of roles and responsibilities that require strategies and skills to accomplish. There are academics to learn, professors to connect with, friends to make, social calendars to keep, arts and athletics to pursue, health to maintain, and careers to pursue. The more we can empower young people to have the experience which involves using strategies to accomplish tasks of all kinds, the more we will see them thrive and learn well. This book aims to provide a base of strategy for the common responsibilities that college students have; however, I leave room for students and learning specialists to create and respond to an ever-evolving higher educational landscape.
Disability: ABILITY
The field of special education in 2022 has progressed to a point where we have ways to treat and support students with learning issues, and yet, we frame so much of the special education process from a deficit-based mindset. Even the word, “disability” supports this negative connotation of neurodiversity. This idea book outlines a paradigm for how to view and work with students with diagnoses formed through experience, research, and creativity in a way that supports an ability-forward mindset. Anyone who is parenting or teaching in the special education field would benefit from reading this book and using its ideas within the context of their practice.
How to Tutor
Tutoring is a billion-dollar industry. Much of it involves standardized test preparation and content-based training for tutors. This book, built on my 25+ year career as a learning specialist, outlines a model for tutors that they can use to ensure the whole child learns well. It shows tutors how to tutor in a way that will be most impactful, especially as we enter test-optional admissions processes and a successful learning experience. Tutors can use this book to frame their practice, retain students, and empower students to learn well.
A Parent’s Guide to Tutoring
Every single parent, myself included, wants our children to be happy. Educational success is often a key component of this overall happiness.
We hope that our children are attending great schools packed with concerned, passionate, and attentive teachers, and that when they come home from school, they are able to reach into their backpacks, pull out the day’s homework, and complete the assignment with confidence. If that scenario sounds like a pipe dream, you are not alone. Sometimes our children struggle and need support neither you nor their regular teacher can provide. This is where tutoring steps in to fill the void.
