"This workbook style guide to student success weaves together big picture ideas about student mindset, habits, and harnessing your inner student voice with small picture practical strategies of organization and time management. As a middle school teacher, this book helps me to feel armed with strategies to help my students stay organized both in class and at home, with ideas such as the take home file box, the detailed tips about how to use your agenda, complete your homework on time, and defeat test anxiety through preparation. It also provides a thoughtful lens about how to help students transition to taking responsibility for their learning, to value their work, and be their best self."

"Clear, concise, and thoughtfully written, this book is a must for high school students, and even students who may be struggling in their first or second year of college. As a parent, I wish this book was available when my children were in high school; it discusses necessary steps for success and the strategies to put those steps into action. As a college administrator, I see how the lack of organization and planning affects even those students who managed fairly well in high school, but had difficulty transitioning to the rigors of college classes and the absence of the structure of high school. The presentation in the book is straightforward and captures your attention from the first page. I highly recommend it to students, parents, and educators."
