Personalized Coaching Sessions
Coaching is a cooperative approach to changing a learning strategy style. Within 45 days of meeting with the Learning Specialist to determine the specific behavior to alter, a plan is devised and accountability is guided via telephone, in-person, or email. The most common academic issues that can be addressed via coaching:
- reducing anxiety by managing time efficiently
- setting up and maintaining flexible calendars
- balancing stress by incorporating times to synthesize information in addition to learning new information
- adapting or adopting a new strategy such as pre-reading or pretesting
- incorporating exercise and/or social activities to release stress
- using questions to enhance retention
- increase academic confidence by becoming metacognitively aware
- when and how to study with a partner or group
