SED 191 Exp in Acad Coach & Self Reg

This course is designed for peer tutors to earn a notation on their transcript for coaching scholars who display difficulty with the skills necessary to succeed in college. These skills include planning and prioritizing (i.e., deciding on a goal and a plan to meet it), time management (i.e., knowing what to do and when to do it to meet deadlines), and task initiation (i.e., starting projects without procrastination or avoidance). An initial setup session where the tutors coach the scholars on how to complete assignments requiring multiple steps will be followed by ongoing weekly sessions to check in on scholar assignment management and provide instruction in study strategies including note-taking, test-taking, managing time, writing papers, and reading for understanding.
