No matter how intelligent a student may be, executive functioning skills are critical for academic success. These are the skills that help us manage our daily lives and effectively pursue long-term goals:

• Planning
• Prioritizing
• Scheduling
• Self-monitoring
• Remembering
• Time estimation
• Self-discipline

Calendars don't teach planning skills. But Skoach is not a calendar. Or a task list. Or an alarm clock. Designed by clinical psychologist, Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, in collaboration with teachers and computer scientists, Skoach combines an intuitive time-management system with coaching wizards and self-monitoring feedback. The result is a powerful web-based planning environment that focuses the student on realistic planning and consistent follow-through.

Nationally recognized psychologist, Kathleen G. Nadeau, Ph.D., has many years helping children, teens and adults to learn better planning and organizational skills. Many of the approaches outlined in her books have been incorporated into Skoach. Our appealing, kid-friendly tool teaches critical executive functioning skills in a painless and engaging way. The intuitive design and unique planning features make learning to be organized easy and fun for students.

Executive functioning skills are critical for learning

Planning skills become increasingly critical as students move through middle and high school. They must learn to juggle dates, deadlines and assignments from multiple teachers. Skoach provides each student with a clear visual map of his or her day, week and month. Its friendly interface, Auto Plan, as well as email and text-message reminders will appeal to students in a way that no paper planner can.

An ideal tool for study skills classes

The first rule in learning study skills is, "If you plan to learn, you must learn to plan." Skoach provides a visually appealing, well-designed planning tool that today's students can relate to. It offers a clear graphic illustration of the student's daily schedule and task-list. Students will enjoy creating a colorful Weekly Template and will more easily learn critical executive functioning skills, including:

• Prioritizing
• Planning
• Time estimating
• Self-monitoring
• Time management
• Habit development
