Why So Many Teens Struggle to Stay Organized<\/h3>\n

For many high school students, staying organized and managing tests and assignments isn\u2019t really about \u201ctrying harder\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s about learning systems they were never properly taught. In recent years, this has been made increasingly challenging by the rise of online platforms like Google Classroom, Edsby, Brightspace, and others. These tools were designed to streamline education \u2014 yet for many students, especially those still developing executive function skills, they often do the opposite.<\/p>\n

The Problem With Digital School Platforms<\/h4>\n

Students today are expected to check multiple online platforms, each with its own layout, notification system, and folder structure. Assignments may appear in a stream of updates that constantly shift. Due dates are posted digitally \u2014 but rarely in a way that forces the student to process and plan for them.<\/p>\n

The result? Students scroll, acknowledge that \u201csomething is due soon,\u201d and move on \u2014 without truly committing that task into a working plan. It\u2019s passive awareness, not active organization.<\/p>\n

Most teens believe they\u2019ll remember. Most don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Online school systems are excellent for the distribution of information \u2014 but they are terrible at teaching how to manage that information.<\/p>\n

Analog vs. Digital \u2014 Do Planners Still Matter?<\/h4>\n

Students typically fall into two categories: those who use digital calendars, to-do apps, and school portals, and those who still keep a handwritten planner or physical agenda. Digital tools feel more modern and efficient \u2014 but for developing brains, efficiency is not the goal. Engagement is.<\/em><\/p>\n

When a student manually writes, for example:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cScience test \u2014 Thursday \u2014 study cells Monday\/Tuesday \u2014 review Wednesday\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

they are processing the task, not just receiving it. They are mentally representing time, breaking the work into steps, and rehearsing the plan as they write it. That is executive function development.<\/p>\n

In contrast, clicking \u201cadd to calendar\u201d or seeing a reminder pop up does none of that cognitive work. The tool does the thinking \u2014 and the student does not get stronger.<\/p>\n

So, What\u2019s Actually Best?<\/h4>\n

At StudySpot, we recommend a hybrid system \u2014 analog first, digital second.<\/p>\n

Analog (planner, agenda, whiteboard calendar, notebook) is where students process, plan, and build the habits of organization. This is where real cognitive growth happens \u2014 writing, mapping, thinking ahead.<\/p>\n

Digital tools are excellent once a student is already organized \u2014 as backup storage, reminders, or to sync across devices.<\/p>\n

But digital systems alone do not teach organization. They only reward it. Students who aren’t organized fall through the cracks.<\/p>\n

The Most Effective Habit Students Can Build Right Now<\/h4>\n

Every student, especially in Grades 8\u201312, should have a weekly planning routine. For example, Sunday evening. Planner open. All classes reviewed. Tests and assignments listed. Time-blocks created. Realistic. Visible. Repeated weekly until it becomes instinct.<\/p>\n

This one habit – analog, on paper, consistently – can be as powerful than any reminder app on the market.\u00a0 Because the goal isn\u2019t just to stay organized this week.\u00a0 The goal is to become an organized learner for life.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s maintain the positive energy that comes with starting fresh by encouraging students to start planning for June\u2019s exams. Yes, I said it \u2013 start thinking about final exams! Here are a few ideas that students can do every day to make studying at the end of the semester less stressful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get organized.<\/strong> Students should use one binder per course. This helps students to know that they have all of the course material together in one place when it comes time to look for that important note or worksheet. Students are also encouraged to use dividers to separate units within each course. All classroom notes, worksheets, homework, quizzes, assignments and assessments for the unit should be kept together, and clearly separated from the unit before and after. Students should also keep the course syllabus (the handout from the first day of class) in a safe location. This provides valuable information about the topics that will be presented throughout the course and most likely to appear on the final exam!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attempt all assigned homework<\/strong>. Students should write down their thoughts for each question that has been assigned. The teacher needs to see that students have made an honest effort to think about, and apply, what they\u2019ve learned. Even if they experience difficulty with the task, they should make a list of questions to ask the teacher in order to clarify concepts. For subjects like Math, checking answers in the back of the textbook, marking them correct, and identifying questions that they need to ask your teacher to help you with will provide valuable feedback to the student when assessing their understanding of the concepts. Student can also make sure to learn the correct answers for any quiz or test questions for which they did not receive full marks in order to understand how to approach similar questions on the final exam.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review the learning goals.<\/strong> Teachers should have a clear goal for the learning that takes place in the classroom each day. It is the students\u2019 responsibility to take 10 minutes at the end of each day to think about, and reflect on, what they were supposed to learn. Was it \u2026 a historical date? \u2026 a mathematical formula? \u2026 a scientific procedure? … the resolution to a conflict in a short story and how it relates to society? Encourage students to have a separate sheet of paper for each unit where they write down a couple of key points every day to demonstrate they understood the learning goal for the lesson. This piece of paper is the start of a summary (cheat sheet) with formulas, diagrams, and other key pieces of information that will become very helpful at the end of the term when studying for their final exam.<\/p>\n<p>A few small changes to daily routines now can make a world of difference when it comes time to study at the end of the semester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributed by Cindi Keenan.

I always suggest they focus on the process of preparation and avoid getting caught in the trap of teaching their child the material.<\/p>\n<p>For most students, exams are introduced in grade 9 and become an important component of their education for the rest of their academic careers. The ability to prepare for and write large examinations effectively is not something a student is born with but is developed through experience.<\/p>\n<p>As parents we are limited in our ability to help with content; however we can provide the support and guidance they need to learn and develop this important <a href=\"https:\/\/studyspot.ca\/annarbor\/study-skills\/\">skill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few ways you can help.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Discuss your child\u2019s goals for their exams.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The goal here is not to impose your expectations on your child; have them share with you their goals and determine if their goals are realistic. Setting unrealistic goals can be demotivating for students and make it easier to quit when reality starts to set in. Always encourage your kids to set realistic, yet challenging, goals for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Ask your child to rate how difficult they expect each exam to be and estimate how many hours of study he or she feel will be required to be prepared. Though difficult to do for inexperienced students, this information will be helpful when it comes to prioritizing study <a href=\"https:\/\/studyspot.ca\/annarbor\/a-realistic-concept-of-time\/\">time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Establishing the “big picture” early on will help everyone keep proper perspective and avoid the stress and anxiety that exam time can produce.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Encourage your child to make a Study Plan.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A study plan will encourage your child to study with purpose. The first step is to break down each subject into \u201cstudy chunks\u201d that can be reviewed in an hour or two. Dividing a course by chapter, unit, or topic can be effective ways to create these chunks. Turn these “chunks of information” into study sessions by setting specific learning goals for each session. This may mean subdividing chapters or units based on the type of question they are likely to be asked on the exam.\u00a0 For example, a chapter in science could be subdivided into a session focused on learning the key terms, and a session focused on practicing word problems.\u00a0 Other sessions could be dedicated to learning short answer questions, essay questions, diagrams, memorizing vocabulary, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, using a calendar, indicate the dates of the exams and schedule in each study session, spreading them out over time. This approach will insure that all the relevant material is covered. It will also help your child to study with purpose and help him or her avoid the procrastination that is often caused by \u201cnot knowing where to start.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Create a \u201cStudy Spot\u201d.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Having a unique space for studying can have a positive impact on the student\u2019s ability to retain and later recall information. The ideal study spot will have two characteristics: lots of space and minimal distractions. The ability to leave books and papers out between study sessions allows your child to pick up where he or she left off.\u00a0 Since your child will not likely have the self-control to overcome the temptations of their phone or computer, encourage him or her to leave these distractions in another room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Ensure your child takes breaks, eats well, and gets lots of sleep.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure to have healthy snacks available to ensure your child can stay focused and maintain energy. Getting a good night\u2019s sleep is very important as it is during our sleep when our brain consolidates our memories. It is better to forgo a couple hours of study to ensure that your child is well rested and able to take advantage of the productive time spent studying.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Provide lots of encouragement.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Exam time can be stressful. Try to keep your child\u2019s spirit up with positive reinforcements and forward focused feedback. Now is not the time to point out how much easier studying would be if he or she had worked harder during the term. Instead, let them know that you appreciate how difficult final exams can be and that it is a learning process that will continue to improve throughout their academic career.<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Exam time is upon us and parents often ask how they can support their child through the experience.

At StudySpot, the final three Rs are Record, Recite, and Review.<!--more--> In the Recording stage, readers create a set of notes that summarize the text. These notes can be in a variety of formats (e.g., outline, point-form, semantic web, mind map, etc.), but the key idea is that the notes condense the original and target the key concepts and ideas the text presents. The recording stage allows students to put their own stamp on the material and can help them comprehend and retain the information for later recall.<br \/>\nIn the Reciting stage, students engage in short-term recall and rehearse the material they\u2019ve included in their notes. It\u2019s a good idea to revisit these notes often over the next couple of days as students strive to keep the material fresh. Covering the notes and recalling the information out loud is one of the more effective ways to accomplish this.<br \/>\nIn the Reviewing stage, students begin formally \u2018studying\u2019 the content. Students can practice answering the key questions they came up with in the Question section. They can create summaries of the material as a way to \u2018test\u2019 their understanding. The key point is to shift the information from short-term recall to long-term understanding through whatever studying techniques are necessary.<br \/>\nAs you can see, SQ4R takes students pretty much from the first encounter with a text chapter all the way to the test or exam. In includes reading and note-taking as well as short and long-term studying. One interesting point: In reviewing SQ4R on the internet, it becomes clear that while there is remarkable consistency in the Survey, Question, and Reading stages of SQ4R, the final three stages differ considerably. Whether the final three stages are Recite, Relate, Review or Write, Recite, Review, or Record, Recite, Reflect or any combination, it will have little impact on the success of the strategy. Why? Because, compared to most students\u2019 reading attempts where they passively plow through the material without any pre-reading stages (SQ) and then ignore it again until a few days before the test, SQ4R in whatever format is miles ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last in this series of articles, we look at the well-respected reading comprehension strategy SQ4R For over almost 15 years, we\u2019ve been using SQ4R with our students to help them with textbook reading comprehension.

that has stood the test of time is SQ4R.\u00a0 This method is demonstrated on many university websites (search SQ4R for a sample) and in this article, we\u2019re going to focus on the first two steps, S and Q:<\/p>\n<p><strong>S = Survey<\/strong>: Before starting to read, students need to \u2018take inventory\u2019 of the chapter or unit they\u2019re dealing with.\u00a0 Reading without any context makes it difficult to decide if information is important or not, so it\u2019s imperative that students take some time to skim the material and try to establish some expectations about what they will encounter when reading commences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q = Question<\/strong>: Once students have surveyed the material, they should be able to anticipate the types of questions the chapter will address.\u00a0 This requires a bit of thinking of course, but is well worth it.\u00a0 For instance, surveying a Science chapter might make it clear that the chapter is breaking down and discussing various models of the atom.\u00a0 Ok, if that\u2019s what my survey reveals, what key questions should the chapter address?\u00a0 How about these:<\/p>\n<p>1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What each model says and who came up with it?<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What research did they use to develop the model?<\/p>\n<p>3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What was the weakness of the model that led to the development of the next model?<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the Survey and Question stages of SQ4R involve steps to take BEFORE reading even takes place.\u00a0 At StudySpot, we refer to these stages together as the Pre-reading stages.\u00a0 These stages give students a bit of context and allow them to anticipate what they might encounter \u2013 excellent first steps toward better reading
