5 Reasons Why to Select Tween's S.O.S. (Student Organizational Skills) Program (and there are loads more...)
1. Tween's S.O.S. Program is the only comprehensive program designed specifically for 11-14 year olds. Most resources are far too limited in their approach to teaching good work habits, time management and organizational skills. Being an organized student requires more than using a planner! It requires a full set of skills, practices and habits. (See the list above!)
2. Most resources are heavy on theory, but light on practice. Let's face it -the average 11-14 year old won't respond to work management and organizational theory. This age group needs solid, step-by-step skills instruction and practice. In The Middle School Student's Guide to Ruling the World! good work habits, time management and organizational practices are taught in a fun, easy-to-follow "how to" format. Skills can be immediately implemented for immediate results!
3. Many resources are unclear on their mission. They confuse work habits, time management and organizational skills content with middle school social or "survival" skills. Sorry, The Middle School Student's Guide to Ruling the World! can't help your students deal with a bad hair day, or teach students how to handle bullies or queen bees. Its mission is clear: it's about good, basic work, time management and organizational skills for success in middle school.
4. Podcasts! Tween's SOS Program comes with access to ten fun podcasts! Your student can tune in, or download and follow along with the students of U.B. Smart Middle School on their journey to success. Great for independent learners!
5. Because helping your student acquire these important skills is one of the best things you can do to assure their success in middle school and beyond!
