My Project

Being a freshman comes with so much to navigate. Students are adapting to new expectations, schedules and the demands of growing up. This year in my Study Skills class, I want to help my freshman students rise to the occasion. By teaching them the most effective habits for teens, I believe the foundation can be set for success. In this class, I want to captivate, inspire and motivate these students to be the best they can. These students all have their own challenges and obstacles that they encounter daily, while I may not always have the words to support them, Steven Covey can pick up where I may fall short. As a new teacher I am passionate about student success. I am confident this book will help my student navigate their new journey and develop highly effective habits.
