If Your Teen's Grades Dropped For No Reason

07/04/22 • 17 min

Students' grades dropping, even though they’re still putting in the same amount of effort, is a common yet often perplexing situation for many students and their parents.
This common challenge is especially prevalent when moving up from Years 7 & 8 into Years 9 & 10 and then again as they move into the Senior years.
If you’ve had this happen (or you just want to make sure it doesn’t happen!), then listen in for the two ‘behind-the scenes’ reasons why this happens - which have nothing to do with the subject content getting harder - and how to turn things around.YOU WILL LEARN:

Why 'what got them here, won't get them there'. What achieved success in Years 7 and 8 is not the same as what's required in high year levels.
- The subtle but super-important changes in requirements and demands of questions and their mark schemes as students move up through the years in high school and college.

The two specific ways students need to operate at a different level (literally!) in Years 9 & 10 and then again in Senior Years.

More Free Time, Without Sacrificing Grades

How can your teen get their study tasks done more efficiently AND effectively,
so they have more free time,
but without sacrificing their grades,
and in a way that means they actually get to enjoy that free time guilt-free?
By tweaking the systems they’ve most likely already been using, like long to-do lists or wall planners with assessment deadlines and turning these into ‘Scheduled Outcomes’, they’ll:
- become a lot more strategic in their tasks and time,
- create more free time,
AND
- produce high quality work.

WE COVER:
