Keys to Strong Start to the School Year:
1. get organized - calendar, planner, etc
2. create a structure to manange work and time - budget your time
3. Have a dedicated study space - clean, quiet and organized
4. nip small problems in the bud before they become big problems
5. plan ahead - study for big projects on a daily basis (for example)
Each of these items could likely be a book unto themselves, but the overall theme is to get organized and stay organized. As my mentoring teach told me when I student taught... Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan
