Strategising to Maximise Points
Nextstepuni has worked very closely with McEgan college during the first semester of 2024. Whether it was through the rollout of our online learn-to-learn course (Now available for purchase by individuals online), our in-person talks or our growth mindset workshops, we have strove towards helping these bright young students flourish and grow.
Piloting the Course
While working with C.E.R Cork during our pilot course rollout, we saw students grades increase, mindsets change and educational outlook morph.
During our growth mindset session, we helped students understand your intelligence plays a very small part to play in success, with effort and technique contributing to 90% of success.
Our work with and feedback from C.E.R Cork played a big role in turning the course into the success it is today.
Evolving Educational Outlook
The Leaving Cert is a long-term game. This is something we go over a lot in our online course, but also something we spent a lot of time helping the students understand in Mayfield Community School.
In our online course we go through the why of studying. We help students understand you're not trying to go from a H3 to a H2 to please your teacher, your doing it to get extra points, to get into a course you like, with the end goal of building a life you can be proud of.
We help students understand how to study for the long-term in our course. Instead of rereading and rewriting - Forgetting information 2 weeks later - we help students use active recall and spaced repetition for long-term retention - Essential for leaving cert success.
