FREE IN-PERSON WRITING WORKSHOPS:

‘How to get unstuck and write’

Middle school on 2/25 and High school on 4/15

1PM-2:30PM

***PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS***

The StudyPro is hosting a free workshop to provide tools that can enable writers to find the “way out” of a writing rut and “on to” a page. The Writing and Executive Function Coaches at The StudyPro will share how students can jumpstart their writing, how to make writing fun, and how to take the sting out of writing assignments. We will walk students through:

Techniques for getting unstuck in writing,
Strategies to better understand writing assignments,
Effective writing “tools”, e.g. T-Charts, Mind Maps, Acrostics, and more

Students will learn how their thoughts about writing impact how they write and leave knowing that for every writing roadblock there is a strategy they can use to help them through it.

The StudyPro is offering two free workshops for 4th and 5th Graders to help students understand and begin to develop a growth mindset. All workshops are free, but limited to 20 students.

Growth Mindset: Getting Our Minds Set for Math – Sept 30th from 1:30 – 3pm
How many times have we heard “I’m just no good at math!”? The truth is that “being good” at math means honoring the process vs. pushing fast to get the answer. However, many students struggle with the four best practices that are goals for all mathematicians. During this workshop, we will focus on these best practices as well as teach strategies students can use to work through challenging problems and reduce anxiety when they get stuck.

Sat. April 13th | 1:30pm – 3PM | FREE

A Family Workshop Featuring:

Dr. Bill Stixrud, Clinical Neuropsychologist, Author and Founder of The Stixrud Group

The drive to get good grades, get into a great college and ramp up our resumes, makes teenagers the most stressed group of people in America(1). Meditation has been proven to help by reducing stress and anxiety, improving attention and memory, and even promoting self-regulation and empathy.

In this workshop we will cover:

Why it matters to meditate
How meditation fits into overall wellness
Common objections about meditation (and how to overcome them)
How Transcendental Meditation, a specific type of meditation, can be particularly helpful

Attendees will also learn several breathing techniques that can be used both to reduce stress in the moment and to help improve sleep.

FREE COLLEGE TRANSITION WORKSHOP:

“How to ROCK COLLEGE (ARE YOU READY?)”

APRIL 27, 2019 1:00PM – 2:30PM

College is different than high school. In college, students, independent of parental involvement, will have to wake themselves up on time, make and manage their own appointments, balance social and academic requirements and seek out help when needed.

As with any transition, the students who are best prepared, know what lies ahead and plan for how they will manage the change. During our free workshop, seniors will learn:

How ready am I for college? (via a college readiness survey)
What are the differences between high school and college?
What are the hard decisions I am going to have to make and how will I make them?
How will I deal with the stress?

Going to college is a huge transition for anyone, but taking the time to prepare will decrease stress and help students feel more confident in their freshman year success.
