This is a fun course designed for teens with ADHD, executive function challenges and/or other learning differences who need help with planning, prioritizing, organization, and project management. The teacher will demonstrate a variety of planning techniques and will discuss the importance of project management. Students will be empowered to choose the organizational and planning strategy that works best for them. They will practice project management by planning and executing a fun activity of their choice.
Class experience
This is a one-time discussion-based class. In class we will learn about making a list, planning ahead for long term activities and projects, getting small amounts done daily instead of saving all our work until the last minute, the impact that our forgetfulness may have on others and motivating ourselves to do tough stuff we don't feel like doing. The teacher will model several organizational and time management strategies. These include Google Keep, Habitica, A tear-off planning sheet,...
Students will leave the class with some new techniques to try to improve their study skills and organization. They will understand the importance of starting early in order to meet deadlines and breaking down a project into smaller, more manageable steps.
