Studies show Teen Success in school often comes from
25% from school administration and staff, building conditions, materials, programs, resources
25% from teachers’ abilities to teach so students understand school subjects
50+% from student study skills and parent involvement with teen studying and with the school
(Peter Hutchinson – See Resources)
Parents and Students have more Power than they Think!
Parents & Teen Caretakers and those who Supervise teens want the best for teens and young adult students (Youth
or Troop Leaders, Club Leaders, Group Home Staff, Foster Parents, Grandparents, Relatives, Church Leaders, etc.)
1) They want teens to succeed in school, graduate and get ready for jobs and life, get more education and training
2) They want teens to cooperate, love and appreciate what parents try to do, respect the family, find a good wife/
husband and have a loving family of their own
3) They want teens to have the skills to handle life's problems and challenges, be good citizens, contribute to and
protect a community and learn to enjoy life
You can't always get what you want – What Parents can't always control
1) How a principal, staff and administration run their teen's school - it sometimes takes years to make changes
2) How well teachers teach teens or schools they go to - Studies show students who gets 3 uninspiring, mediocre
or low performing teachers in a row for teen needs greatly lowers teen motivation for learning and understanding
3) Studies show what students do before and after classes, when they learn ideas in class, affects their learning
very powerfully
4) Studies show teens' friends and who they spend time with influence how they think and feel about many things -
learning, studying, school, authority, family, doing illegal and illicit things, cooperating, etc. Family still has much
but friends and those teens spend time with grow in their influence
It's Your Parental Choice
SLS helps Parents make good choices to help teen & adult students
What Parents can do for teens to help them in school - Studies show these are things that make a difference
1) Parents can stay involved with school, even if teens don't want it – go to school meetings, meet with teachers,
go to events, carnivals, offer help at school events, etc.
2) Parents can work with teachers, school staff & tutors who teach teens to learn and find out teen needs.
3) Parents can have good house rules about studying and school assignments and enforce them – give rewards for
cooperation and consequences if teens break rules or don't cooperate – learn to talk to teens
4) Parents can have a good study set up at home, good school supplies and tools help teens with schoolwork and
encourage teens to learn to study better – by themselves, with study buddy in groups
5) Parents help teens with school work or get teens additional help when they need it – tutors, teachers help, extra
books, summer camps, etc. Parent can go over teen homework, projects and papers to help them
6) Parents can use the SLS Parent Strategies to help motivate teens, help them get organized, help teens use and
practice study strategies, use the Basic and Advanced Parent strategies to help their teens advance
What we know about teens
1) Some teens do well in school because they have good study habits or natural talents and encouragement
2) Many teens work hard and study for hours to do well in school
3) Most teens do well in some subjects that are easier for them but not so well in other subjects
4) Some teens do well with certain types of teachers and others do well with other types of teachers
4) Teens can learn to get better grades and learn new and harder ideas in many subjects with the right tools,
strategies and a motivation to study and learn
5) Teens who get good grades do get help from others – parents, tutors, classmates, books, etc.
6) If teens get low grades this means the way they study is not working and they must change; they may need help
– from parents, brothers, sisters, classmates, tutors, teachers, etc.
7) Students with higher grades get an EDGE to get into good colleges, universities, jobs, etc.
8) When students get a job after graduation, employers will not ask what grades they got, but the habits students
learned to get the good grades can help them on their job if they know how to use them
Studies show that High School Students only have 2 million minutes to get ready for a good job or higher education
Studies show that what students learn between 12 years - early 20s stay with them for the rest of their lives
Studies show that teens and young adult bodies and brains are changing at a great rate
This is why students must learn good study skills, get good learning habits and ways to handle life
Studies show that many students start to loose interest in school, in Middle School (12 - 14 years old)
Studies show that many students start to think about going to college or other higher education in Middle School
Studies show low performing students need help from teachers, tutors, parents and good study habits
Studies show higher performing students use help from parents, good study habits and can learn from many teachers
This is why the SLS System has study skill books for Middle School with a structured set of study skills.
SLS helps students at every step of the way in their academic school career (each grade has its own set of books)
Middle School, High School, Home School, Community College, 4-year College, and even for Adults Returning to College
SLS Study Strategies are based on the brain and body's natural learning system to help students learn
More teens (12 – 18 years old) need more help today to prepare for the higher education and training they’ll need for
today’s and tomorrow’s jobs.
More young adult students (18 - 24 years old) need more help today to get the college and higher education and training
they need for today’s and tomorrow’s jobs and careers.
More older adult students (25+ years old) need more help today to complete a college or other higher education degree,
license, certificate, certification, etc.
SLS helps those who get more education and learning (in traditional and creative classes, online classes, Internet
