Together with a coach, students examine work habits, study strategies, organizational structures, and current barriers to success. Through an iterative and actionable goal setting process, the team works together to strengthen skills and put in place effective strategies to overcome barriers. The end goal? Students become more effective learners and develop habits for success in school and beyond.
