Using Growth Mindset Strategies for Writing! – December 14th from 1:30 – 3pm
No matter how much we want to maintain a Growth Mindset, writing can be tough! Whether it’s getting started, knowing what to write about, figuring out where to take a story, or being open to editing our own work, writing can put anyone on the brink of giving up. During this Growth Strategies workshop, we will explore different types of writing, practice ideas to get started when you are stuck and learn how to look at editing in a more positive light.

Growth Mindset: Getting our Minds Set for Math! – February 8th 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 to the answer. However, many students struggle with the 4 best practices that are goals for all mathematicians. Good mathematicians learn to:

persevere through problem solving
check answers using different methods
plan how to solve a problem vs. jumping into a solution
justify answers and communicate with others

During this workshop, we will focus on how to use a growth mindset to shift our goal from “get it done fast” to “honor the process” as well as teach tools and strategies that students can use to work through challenging problems and reduce anxiety when they get stuck.

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN 1 MONTH PRIOR TO WORKSHOP

Growth Mindset to Push Through Frustration – March 21st from 1:30 – 3pm
In this workshop, we will (re)learn what a Growth Mindset is, and why it matters, especially focusing on what we can do when we get frustrated. We will look at when we get “stuck”, how we react, and what words and approaches we can use to help “push through” that frustration. We will also introduce some new strategies for chunking work and reading, and will provide each student structures to ensure that there is adequate time to get homework done.

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.
