For students to be successful with their online learning, they need to be motivated and disciplined. These attributes are very difficult for most students.
Executive functioning skills are what help us get things done. These skills are controlled by an area of the brain called the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe reaches full maturity around the late 20s, distinguishing the cognitive maturity associated with adulthood.
Executive function helps you:
- Manage time
- Pay attention
- Switch focus
- Plan and organize
- Remember details
- Avoid saying or doing the wrong thing
- Do things based on your experience
- Multitask
That's where Your Learning Coaches comes in. Instead of parents having to take on the very time consuming daily role of managing their child's schooling, Your Learning Coaches takes over these responsibilities providing support and guidance so students can be successful with an online curriculum.
