Author: Project ACHIEVE Educational Solutions April 5, 2025 Duration: 25:26
   In this new Podcast, Angela and Davey address the concerning trend of declining independence and engagement among middle and high school students since the pandemic. Using Dr. Howie Knoff’s concurrently-released Blog, they discuss five essential "meta-skill" sets that are the foundation to students’ academic success.    These Skill Sets focus on: Goal-Setting and Active Learning, Time Management and Study Skills, Interpersonal and Collaborative Learning Skills, Stress Management and Emotional Self-Care, and Self-Awareness and Self-Efficacy skills. These skills are crucial for future-proofing students' success in uncertain times by equipping them with the ability to navigate challenges and take ownership of their learning.    Dr. Knoff emphasizes that these skills are most effective when integrated school-wide and consistently reinforced by educators and peers. Angela and Davey discuss and apply the Skill Sets to the challenges of adolescence, reinforcing their ability to empower students to become more responsible, responsive, and self-reliant learners.    Check out this NEWEST Podcast. . . and “Follow” us so that you get notified when every new podcast is released.
