Study Skills and Time Management (grades 7–10) Back again by popular demand, this unique course for students and their parents has been designed by long time teacher Dr. Dominique Padurano to help students achieve academic success. Dr P teaches students skills such as managing time and stress, techniques for reading a textbook, outlining and taking notes, and studying for tests. She also guides parents to effectively monitor and assist their children at home as they experiment with these new strategies. She will lead the group through hands on activities, role-playing activities and group discussions to teach these new skills and to foster improved communication between parents and children as well as between families and teachers, counselors, administrators, coaches and other adults in the school community.
