The Art of Being Productive in High School to be a More Attractive College Applicant (Part 2)

The Art of Being Productive in High School to be a More Attractive College Applicant (Part 2) ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog In our last blog post on this topic, we explored why today’s high school students must be so productive in high school. Getting good grades isn’t quite enough anymore. You need to show a variety of interests and ideally achieve leadership positions outside the classroom to maximize your chances of admission to a top college. We offered a six-step process to being more productive in high school: Identify the activities and subjects you value and are genuinely interested in Identify key areas of alignment between what you value and what colleges would also value to create “leverage” Set goals and build a plan to meet them Get organized Prioritize and re-prioritize Get help when you need it In this blog post, we explore each step in more detail. Identify the activities and subjects you value and are genuinely interested in. The first step in becoming more productive is to think about what you value and enjoy. If you are trying to get the most out of each year of high school, a major consideration should be your personal preferences. You want to do things you enjoy with people you like hanging out with. If you enjoy writing or taking pictures, the yearbook or school newspaper is a good option. Obviously, there are lots of different sports to consider. It’s also important to think about which subjects you’ll target for more advanced study (i.e., AP classes, etc.). If you’ve always been pretty good at math, then make an actual or mental note that AP calculus is in your future. If you don’t like reading or writing, consider for now that perhaps AP English isn’t for you. At this stage, it’s just important to realize that, for better or worse, it’s important to be involved in a range of activities during high school, and you want to build a list of what interests you and put yourself in a position to take a leadership role in some of them eventually. At the same time, you want to take a reasonably challenging academic course load that you can both handle and do extremely well in. Identify key areas of alignment between what you value and what colleges would also value to create “leverage.” Next, and this is perhaps new to some students, you want to think about how those activities fit into a normal high school or college curriculum. This should start with an understanding of the primary importance of GPA, but with the sometimes-contradictory secondary importance of taking advanced, difficult, challenging classes. In other words, you’d be well served to get a perfect, 4.0 GPA. If you take all average classes though, and never take an honors or AP class, that 4.0 GPA is worth a lot less. On the other hand, when I was in high school, I loaded myself up with tons of AP and honors classes, and then didn’t put in the work â€" and perhaps really didn’t have the time - to get enough A’s. I was left with an “OK” GPA matched with a long list of challenging classes. That’s not ideal either. You want to look at your course of study and put your potential classes into categories: Required, core classes that you must do well in Optional classes that you choose, and again expect to do quite well in More advanced classes that you know will be a challenge, but which help your academic resume look challenging and impressive You’ll want a mix of courses across those categories. Next, consider the extracurricular activities in which you are interested, and note what opportunities might exist to build your resume while also covering required academic requirements. This creates “leverage,” allowing you to accomplish multiple objectives with one endeavor. For example, participating in the student newspaper and/or the yearbook development process often includes taking classes which count towards your English requirement. So, you are taking a class, but also getting involved in an activity. Similarly, if you are planning on taking AP level math or AP level French, there is probably some overlap with a math club or French club in which you could get involved, where part of the time you spend on the activity occurs during class. If you play a varsity sport, perhaps gym class is waived, making time for you to study during school. Students are often surprised at the opportunities they have to “kill two birds with one stone.” Obviously, it’s more than OK to get involved in something just because it seems interesting or a friend suggests it, but you should also be thinking about your options and interests in a structured way to identify these points of leverage. Set goals and build a plan to meet them The last step is about generating your list of options. In this step, you work out an actual plan. Now, if you are reading this early in your high school career (or, more likely, are a parent reading this earlier in their child’s high school career), you are in a better position. But it’s relevant for any student. Here, you realize that you only have X many classes you can take and Y many hours after school, and you decide what you are going to do, keeping in mind the “leverage” opportunities above. But before you can do that, you should consider your academic goals. If you want to go to Harvard, you’ll really need to do it all. High GPA, high ACT or SAT score, tons of activities, leadership, and community service. But, if you want to go to an excellent state school, a high GPA and test score will probably do the trick. If you are targeting a high selective liberal arts school, GPA and test score might be a bit less important relatively speaking and demonstrating unique and deep interests in a few activities is likely more important. The key is to identify where you want to end up, acknowledge the requirements, and then start planning. Your goal is to design an academic course of study that is challenging but reasonable, and supplement that with extracurricular activities that put you in a position to demonstrate a breadth of interests, skills, and leadership ability. Get organized One you have your rough plan, inclusive of courses you are going to take and activities in which you are going to engage, the key to success is staying organized. What does it mean to be organized? I like to think of organization as being driven by two fundamental concepts: a) filing systems and b) to-do lists. Filing systems are the physical or digital folders on your computer where information from each class or activity is kept. Your locker and your back-pack are also filing systems. To-do lists help you manage your time. I generally keep three different types of to-do lists, which help me best use the time I have in any given day: long term, medium term, and daily. In other words, I have a list of things I need to accomplish in the next 3 or more months, things that must get done in 1-4 weeks, and then things I want to accomplish today. An academic planner is a popular form of to-do list that I recommend. Prioritize and re-prioritize One of the hidden keys to truly high levels of productivity for a high school student is prioritization. You should pause at the beginning of each week as well as the beginning of each day to review and update your to-do lists and think about how you truly need to spend your time. You’ll be surprised how important it is to take a deep breath, step back, and decide what to do after comparing all of the things on your mental plate and on your to-do list. You might have that big project on your mind, but should you really spend another 3 hours working on it? Or, should you start studying for that quiz tomorrow? You may want to go hang out with your friends, and you should find time to do that. But if you have a big test tomorrow, what is more important? Get help when you need it I think students tend to vastly underutilize after school time with teachers, getting help from each other, their parents, and even private tutors. If you studied for a quiz but did not do well and are feeling your grasp of a concept slipping away, don’t just assume it’ll all make sense at some point before the mid-term exam. Go get help from the teacher. Spending the time to get that help earlier rather than later is a critical way to save time and increase your overall productivity. If you wait, you’ll end up spending even longer going over old concepts that you didn’t really understand at the time, and which you now have completely forgotten as you try to get up to speed before a big test. Don’t get too lost. Get help and support early. Summary Motivated high school students need to be highly productive in today’s competitive college admission environment. Productivity comes from working hard, yes. But it also comes from planning your academic course load and extracurricular activities carefully.

Foolproof Time Management System

Foolproof Time Management System A students life is very full. Much of the day is spent at school, but theres a lot to fit in after the bell rings toolike studying, homework, extracurricular activities, dinner and sleep. A time management system is essential so that children can make the most of every hour and fit in everything they want and need to do. What exactly should that system entail? Here are six important components: Commitment It probably goes without saying, but its vital that your child commits to owning responsibilities and planning his or her time responsibly. Without that sincere commitment, any effort by your child to take control of his or her day and many tasks will simply fall flat. A planner A planner is a must for any student. Your child should use it to write down all daily assignments, dates for tests, quizzes and projects due, as well as any other commitments such as scheduled work or volunteer hours, sports practices, club meetings, performances or games. A structured schedule Have your child block out all scheduled time on the calendar in his or her day planner, including school hours, sports practices or other activities, sleeping, eating dinner and winding down. An hourly schedule in the planner helps your child visualize his or her time and get a clear picture of what time is and isnt free or flexible. Its a good idea to hang a family calendar in a central spot in your home as well. A running list of goals Goal setting is so important and goes hand in hand with time management. Encourage your child to keep a list of short-term and long-term goals and refer to it (and revise it) often. Short-term goals might focus on your childs current classes while long-term goals can be bigger and contain multiple smaller goals. For example, the college-bound teen might want to get into his or her dream college, but there will be many small sub-goals to achieve to get there. Prioritization skills Good time management is about much more than keeping an organized calendar and list of goals. As early as possible, teach your child to spend a few minutes at the beginning of homework time looking over his or her planner and labeling all tasks to be completed today, tomorrow, this week or later. That prioritization process helps your child get focused and mentally prepared to get to work. To-do lists Last but not least, its critical that your child break things down to the specific tasks that he or she must complete each day. The planner serves as a master to-do list, keeping track of everything your child has coming up on the homework/test/quiz front. But after prioritizing at the start of a homework session, your child should develop a game plan: a to-do list for the evening that guides the homework session. Your child should write or print out that list and check things off as completed. Teach your child to own his or her time and not be owned by it. A trusted time management system will minimize stress and wasted time, boost productivity, and set your child up for school and life success.

3 Reasons Why Living with Uncertainty is Good

3 Reasons Why Living with Uncertainty is Good Photo by Mar10os via Flickr.com2. Life is a constant surprise.In life, there are no scripts or rehearsals. After a while, people get tired of living a routine lifestyle. This is why many choose careers that allow them to experience something new everyday. When something becomes repetitive, the appreciation tends to fade away with time. A doctor goes to work with new adventures everyday. A lawyer seldom knows what will happen in the courtroom. An event planner seldom replicates the same event twice. Whereas some industrial careers are very repetitive. Factory workers will be assembling the same car model every day. Cookie factories will bake the same cookie everyday. Unless someone from these last two careers changes their routines outside of work regularly, it may become too repetitive for enjoyment. Just enjoy the uncertainty. Every situation is new and it’s okay to not have control of everything. This will take away so many worries away from your life.3. It allows you to enjoy th e present more.By worrying about the future, you let the present go by without enjoying it. If you’re worried about something going on tomorrow, next week, or next year, there is no way that you are fully engaged in what is going on right now. Do you ever think about how many amazing things that you missed out on because you were stressed out about a non-crucial situation? Well, don’t. That means that you are not even enjoying this article enough because you are worrying about something from the past. The only thing constant is change. The past is the only thing we know for sure.Its okay not to know what youre doing after graduation or after this semester is over. As long as you dont let these worries take over your present state of being.

OFSTED may soon give Schools just over 2 hours notice - Tutor Hunt Blog

OFSTED may soon give Schools just over 2 hours notice OFSTED may soon give schools just over 2 hours notice before an inspection OFSTED may soon give schools just over 2 hours notice before an inspectionSchoolsI was a teacher for more than 15 years, and certainly have many fond memories of my time in the profession. What I remember most strongly though are when things weren`t going so smoothly. Perhaps it`s a feature the human condition, that the memories of happy events all tend to blur together, but more unsettling incidents stand out starkly. I only realised when I sat down to write this article that my strongest recollections are the periods of blind panic, the fear all the teaching staff felt when we were expecting a visit from Ofsted. The headmaster would summon us all into his office, each already knowing, by the faltering tone of his voice and his pale pallor, that the inspectors had informed him of their intention to inspect the school. I remember that we were always given two or three days notice - a grace period before Ofsted actually arrived. During these days we were all on overdrive: every aspect of the school was frantically attended to, with teachers doing their best to ensure all would be pristine and perfect by the time the people with their black folders arrived. I seem to remember we always did well, but the days before an inspection were hard ones indeed. In recent years the notice period has shrunk rather drastically, with ofsted typically informing a school in the afternoon that they plan to visit them the following day. I can`t imagine the pressure that must put teachers under, and can well imagine many of them spend the night in their classrooms, in order to ensure everything is ready for the inspectors in the morning. I`m certainly grateful that we always had a few days to ensure everything was put in order. There are rumours that ofsted are soon to shrink the notice period even further though, all the way down to a mere 150 minutes of warning time. That`s right, new plans indicate that a school will be contacted before 10am, and the inspectors will arrive sometime after 12:30am the very same day! If this had been the policy in some of the schools I worked in, the Headmaster wouldn`t have had to summon us into his office after receiving the red news, we could have deduced that `they` were coming by hearing his screams! Quite understandably there have been a number of people who are strongly against these new proposals. Mary Bousted, the National Education Union joint general secretary has said that the short notice period will put teachers under too much pressure: `Given the scale of change that Ofsted is proposing with its new framework I think it is only common courtesy for school leaders to be given at least 24 hours before visiting to give them time to prepare and collect their thoughts.` Ofsted have said that, even though they will arrive just few hours after first notifying the school, the inspection will not actually begin until the following day. I suspect that this will offer little comfort to teaching staff, knowing that the inspectors are hardly likely to overlook any anomalies they see during the first day. Also the senior leaders of the school will probably be required to accompany the inspectors the moment they arrive, thus impeding them from preparing for the full inspection later. Another issue of course is what happens if the headteacher is not present in the school the day the inspectors make their phonecall? The role of a headteacher is a complex and variegated one, and it is usual for them to working off site, perhaps meeting with members of the local council, or school governors at other locations during the week. Mary Bousted raised this issue, stressing that headteachers need to be present during an inspection, and that more notice period needs to be given: `This comes back to the problems that Ofsted has had when it has tried to bring in no notice inspections. There is a logistical problem about whether headteachers will be there to speak to.` `I think it also shows a lack of courtesy to school leaders who should be given time to prepare and collect their thoughts rather than getting a phone-call which says `We are coming to your school and you need to be ready to start talking about inspection`.` Of course schools need to be regularly inspected by an independent organisation - the vast majority are funded with taxpayers money, and the general public have a right to know that standards are being maintained. There needs to be a fair balance though - the inspectorate must be aware of the huge amount of pressure teachers are already under, and it would be unfair to compound this with their every working day being a potential inspection day. 14 months ago0Add a Comment

Math Matters Tutoring Center

Math Matters Tutoring CenterMany schools have opted to get high school students who have failed to cope with the subject through math matters tutoring center. Such a facility is designed in such a way that it ensures the quick assessment of the problem.This is particularly useful to schools that have been facing terrible news of bad scores of students. Even though this has happened several times, they are still convinced to look for the help of such a service. This can be extremely useful in setting a right direction for your school as it aims at making sure that students attain a minimum grade of 60%.Apart from helping them solve their problems, the lessons also help them learn how to manage their time properly. This is quite different from the conventional classroom work. Here, the student will be taught how to manage the classes and progress towards their college. Here, tutors are also involved and will be teaching them the tricks of life and how to handle them well.Once the stude nt reaches age sixteen, then they will be moving into a person's school for four years. The time spent in the elementary level of schooling is not enough to train the student and actually do away with the knowledge of some useful things. These lessons will be useful in preparing the students to go to college and understand that college is really important.The purpose of the college is to sharpen your skills and prepare you for new career opportunities. It is always helpful for the students to understand the future prospects. The good news is that there are many colleges that offer services like this to help students get the right direction of their lives.The learning time spent on subjects like math matters will not allow you to take up extra study hours. The service can be best adapted for students who do not have a lot of time to study. However, the entire idea is to make students learn.These tutors usually get hold of some past students and discuss the bad grades they got while t aking exams. It is important to get past students to know about the past grades. It is also important to get past students who have understood and feel that the tutor has understood their problems and helped them tackle them.
