Megan walks you through four steps including:

* Get organized — know what schools, what questions, how many unique essays and short answers you need. * Recognize that HOW you write is as important at WHAT you write. * Be authentic.

June 08, 2020 320: Help Students Rely Less on Nagging and More On Themselves

How can students take responsibility for reminding themselves to follow through on tasks large and small? Without relying on mom or dad for nagging?

In this mini-episode Gretchen shares one of her favorite ways to get students to start thinking about reminder systems.

This includes a brainstorm where you guide students through the following:

* Make a list of ways they can remind themselves to follow through on tasks* Discuss the pros of each reminder system, thinking through what kinds of reminders they might work for* Discuss the cons of each reminder system, thinking through what kinds of reminders this system might NOT work for
