The Academic Planner
The Academic Planner Instruction Manual
Based upon both my experience teaching and training in Executive Function Skills at Rush Neurobehavioral Center in Chicago, The Academic Planner is designed to maximize the success of students with specific executive function deficits. Namely, those students with challenges in the areas of organization, planning, follow-through, initiative, prioritization, and other time management skills.
For individuals with executive function challenges, the traditional time/date planner can be overwhelming. A big blank sheet with time slots is too much and these students shut down before they even begin. the Academic Planner breaks tasks down into smaller bites thereby making each item achievable. Additionally, the pen-and-paper-approach of the Academic Planner provides kinesthetic reinforcement to benefit students. My planner intentionally omits all unnecessary script, design, pictures, etc. thereby reducing all visual clutter.
The two things that make this planner effective are first, the procedure, and second, the follow-through. to learn more about this planner click Here
I have home-educated all ten of my children for the past twenty years. I have used dozens of planners, digital or otherwise, for the past twenty years. Once past the glitter and excitement of a new approach, none of the planners seemed to help me organize and follow through. The Academic Planner changed that for me, and for each of my children. As I used The Academic Planner approach in my homeschool I saw higher grades, fewer reminders, prompt assignments, and follow-through at an all-time high. Each of my children have Executive Function challenges, and eight children have dyslexia. The Academic Planner enhanced both their academic performance and their quality of life significantly. I highly recommend The Academic Planner as a portal to success for each of your students.
Thank you for the time you are investing in your student! It will pay in dividends throughout their lives.
