Learn strategies to support teens and young adult clients with academic success
2 CEs available
Free for Marin CAMFT members and reciprocal chapter members!
Workshop Description
This presentation was created out of a desire to educate fellow therapists on the complicated topics of study skills, procrastination and motivation of clients who are high school and college students. During this presentation, participants will be given vignettes of students who did and did not have mastery skills needed to juggle multiple classes and teacher demands. School is the “job” of children and teens and therefore is important to understand if one is working with youth in therapy.
Presentation topics will include study skills, foresight and planning as they relate to homework/projects, self-monitoring during work/study time, how to set up a study space, methods of controlling distractions, causes of procrastination, how to address low student motivation and the impact of learning differences on one’s ability to track and monitor assignments in school.
Educational Goals
Therapists will gain greater insight into the obstacles for academic success facing clients who are in high school and college.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Identify and address at least three underlying causes of low motivation in clients who are high school and college students
- Identify and address the impact of student procrastination as it relates to homework/project completion
- Describe how executive functioning deficits influence school performance
- Name at least two ways to support students of diverse backgrounds in their acquisition of study skills
Presenter
Christina Rodriguez, LMFT has spent almost her entire career in public school education. After attending the University of California at Berkeley for undergraduate studies in Psychology, Christina moved through two master’s programs at San Francisco State University, one in in Clinical Psychology and the other in School Psychology. After graduate school, Christina worked as a school psychologist in a Bay Area suburban school district. Christina's main role was administering a battery of tests to determine if students qualified for Special Education. Through all of these experiences, it became clear to Christina that preschool to grade twelve education is the foundation of our society. In 2014, Christina began a private practice mostly focused on teens and adults. She retired from the public school system in 2021 and continues supporting students and other clients in her private practice.
