Class Experience

Part 1 of 2
"Executive Excellence: Mastering Self-Management Skills - Advanced Series" offers a deeper dive into the intricacies of executive function skills, aimed at students and young adults who are ready to elevate their cognitive and emotional capabilities. This course builds upon foundational skills and introduces advanced concepts and strategies to enhance personal and academic effectiveness.

Course Objectives:

To provide an in-depth exploration of advanced executive function skills.
To develop higher-level cognitive abilities like strategic planning, creative thinking, and analytical reasoning.
To enhance emotional intelligence, resilience, and leadership qualities.
To equip students with the tools for handling complex academic and life challenges.

The flexible schedule (Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started).

No experience is required to take this class.

Students will be provided with separate videos to watch for each topic. These are outlined below. 

The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic, and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week. Homework assignments will include writing a list of topics, interests, and areas of expertise in which the students might be interested in developing a business. 

After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps to make their projects. 

Timeframe for the Week:
Mondays - The teacher will post the information needed for the week.
Tuesdays-Wednesday - The teacher can answer any questions pertaining to the topic of the week.  The students will need to complete any homework assignments and answer any questions in the class.
Thursday - Students need to have all tasks completed and uploaded in the classroom.  
Friday - The teacher will provide feedback to the class and individual students, students will also be able to engage in peer-to-peer review and be able to discuss how they went about completing the tasks.
Saturday - Sunday - Teacher will be available to answer any questions that the students may have for the week or the next week.
