Take That First Step by Michael Whitehouse It can often be hard to get going, whether it’s a small task or a larger one. Executive dysfunction is hard to navigate. Doing the tasks that need to get done seems simple enough, but ugh… No! As soon as you take the first step, you’ll feel so much better because the next step is that much easier. https://lnkd.in/gHjrcfeS

“Miss, I am feeling overwhelmed. I don’t know how to study”, said many of my Year 12 students in my first year of teaching. It’s a comment that takes me back to something one of my professors at university once told me when learning about pedagogy. “Never assume that students know”. It changed my whole perspective. Sometimes we think because we know, they know. However, often in reality - they don’t know. In my second year of teaching, I wanted to do something different with my HSC students. There was a gap and I wanted to close it. I didn’t want my students to feel overwhelmed and I wanted them to be confident in their studying abilities. I created a “HSC Survival Kit” session and held it in their first week of Year 12. In the session, the agenda includes the following: - A study schedule/timetable. It’s blank so each student can customise it to their needs. It allows them to plan specific times for studying each subject, with breaks in between. - Goal setting: Encourages students to set clear, achievable goals for each study session e.g. ‘I’ll complete 2 essays a week’ - Active learning technique(s). I provide students with different strategies e.g. summarise your readings, teach a peer or create flash cards. Each student learns differently. - Self-care: Explain the importance of enough sleep, a healthy diet and a balanced social/school life. - Seek help if needed: Remind your students of the different resources your school offers. “You can ask me, your peers or reach out to welfare” - Review and Adjust: Encourage your students to test what study plan works best for them and adjust as needed. Remind them that it’s okay to change it! - Stay positive: Remind students to stay positive and patient. Progress takes time and every little step forward is an achievement. By providing these practical tips and showing empathy, you can help your students develop effective study habits and reduce their feelings of overwhelm right from the BEGINNING. Do this, then do the content. Four years later, I still hold my “HSC Survival Kit” session. I am forever refreshing and refining it year in, year out. I refer back to it whilst teaching content throughout the year to remind my students that they’ve got this! It’s ONE lesson that can do so much for so many. #HSC #Teachertalk
