ABOUT US

Our passion is working with students to improve their executive function skills. Executive function skills are responsible for mental control and self-regulation. Skills such as the ability to prioritize, to plan, to initiate and focus on tasks. The ability to see the big picture and attend to the tasks required to achieve a goal. Students who are challenged by weak executive function skills have difficulty taking a pause to reflect upon...if I do this; how will it affect that?

At Education@Work we help students build their own system to manage 'school', by using their strengths to bridge the gaps associated with weaker executive function skills.

we make sure the organization process is unique to the student, the system must be realistic and therefore sustainable
we make them aware of how to find and organize their school work by using itsLearning effectively
we provide students with language to speak with their teachers about what they need to be successful
we show them how to work an agenda - how to manage time

Research shows that executive function skills can be worked on and improved upon with practice and strategic reflection. A student's awareness of their strengths and weaknesses is the beginning of learning how to use strengths to overcome weaknesses which will have a profound effect on school outcomes as well as life success!

OUR COMMUNITY

We work together with students, parents, and teachers to create an academic plan for students; and then facilitate follow-through on that plan! Acknowledging that a plan is only as effective as the follow-through... we work alongside each student to help them create a system of organization and study knowhow.

Learning how to take control of one's own education is a process that builds over time. Student's need to learn that they have power over their education. It begins by familiarizing oneself with how to effectively communicate with teachers and understand where to go for information on homework, assignments, and assessments; and do so consistently! This is key to a student's success in school.

There is an overwhelming number of students with above average IQ scores that are not doing well in school. They simply do not know how to play the game of school. We strive to quiet the noise around the student and help them focus in on the steps they need to take in order to manage their own learning from a position of empowerment.
