Ep. 103 -
What impresses your teen's teachers and gets gold stars and glowing comments in Y7 and 8 is NOT the same as what gets top grades and great results in Senior assessments.
What's considered 'awesome' changes from 'going over and above' to 'being clear and concise'.
This means that what your teen puts time and effort into, also needs to change as your teen moves up through the year groups.
Tune in to discover:
- what this evolution of demand, work ethic and desired output looks like,
- the ways your teen can evolve their focus, effort and energy spent on different aspects of their study,
and
- ensure it's effective, efficient and rewarded at EVERY stage.

Posters and Print-Outs Don't Produce Skills

Ep. 104 -
Rant warning!
I see various educational posters stuck up on classroom walls and study skills handouts folded in the back of students’ exercise books.
But they're almost NEVER being explicitly and intentionally taught the concepts, or trained in the skills and strategies printed on them.
In my opinion, this can actually be more detrimental than not having them at all.
Because students now think that they DO know and understand them and can effectively use or action them, when actually they are simply 'familiar' with them (rather than skilled IN them).
