Back to “In-Person” School Toolkit

In this webinar and Q&A session, we will prepare families of all ages for what to expect and how best to prepare in their return to school this Fall.

As many schools resume in-person schooling and students adjust to a new normal once again, the challenge of getting back to school will be to uncover developing knowledge gaps, re-organize and optimize student routines, and identify areas to engage in extracurricular enrichment that will develop interests into skills. We will explain core executive functioning strategies for deep learning and effective studying, break down how to set realistic and motivating grade goals, and more!

Drawing from over two decades of education experience and programs that directly address the core of what students need to do well this Fall and beyond, we hope to address your questions, provide helpful strategies, and mitigate some of the stress all of us, as parents, are feeling!
