Description

A comprehensive text and proven strategies for maximizing the middle school years of a comprehensive 7-year middle-through-high school plan to maximize a student’s college admission and scholarship opportunities.

The text expands on concepts introduced in, “Ten Steps to Helping Your Child Succeed in School,” such as personality types, each student’s gifts and talents, learning styles, best and worst learning situations, and making effective transitions from elementary school into middle school and from middle school into high school.
