Abstract:
Students have more influence today than in the past due to changes in the community, school culture, and world. Students require options for extra support and resources, assisting them to make positive decisions. Students are dealing with an absence of support and motivation from home and school. This paper will focus on strategies and techniques that students can implement to improve areas of concern or weakness. The recommendations provided for academic or social improvement will empower students’ decision-making processes. This paper will produce suggestions, strategies, and resources to support students’ academics and social skills; guiding them towards finding their passion to empower and change the world . Study skills, organization skills, and ways to get involved will be addressed. Studying ahead of time or not procrastinating is an advantage in preparing for an assessment or assignment. To prioritize schedules, students can use a journal or calendar to get tasks completed independently, then celebrate the task by doing something positive, like tutoring or volunteering for other organizations. Students need motivational support to set goals and support to complete them. Students need diverse strategies and resources for tutoring, coaching, and support.
