Successful Partnership Continues Trackside Teen Center Welcomes Back S4 Study Skills Workshops

Successful Partnership Continues at the Trackside Teen Center and Welcomes Back S4 Study Skills Workshops

As a result of the success of the winter Study Skills workshop, Trackside Teen Center is proud to add two additional workshops of its evidence-based Successful Study Skills 4 Students (S4) program for middle and high school students Study Skills: Essentials and High School and Beyond. The workshops foster academic achievement by teaching students key study strategies that help them learn and achieve better academic success.

The S4 evidence-based programs are designed to bolster academic confidence, motivation and preparation as academic workload and expectations increase rise. Planning, organizing, executive functioning skills, as well as quiz, test, and long-term project preparation strategies are taught in a highly interactive environment by experienced teachers. In addition, each school’s own curriculum and course material can be incorporated.

Here are some resources to help you and your student:
