PROSPER and Outcomes

Families play a crucial role in supporting positive outcomes for students, both academically and personally. Here are several key ways families can partner with AISHK to help students establish pathways towards effective outcomes in a variety of areas.

1. Goal Setting: Encourage the young person to have clear objectives and aims in relation to their academics and also other areas of interest. Using the SMART goal approach of Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timebound, helps students to focus themselves toward a positive outcome.

2. Establish routines at home for homework, reading, and sleep. Ensure the young person has a quiet, well-lit space for studying. Establish clear bed times and keep personal devices out of bedroom spaces at night.

3. Model positive attitudes toward the value of the learning process as well as the final outcomes. Helping students to avoid outcome based pressure enables them to more fully commitment to their studies without the overwhelm and stress often associated with outcome driven mindset.

4. Feedback: Encourage young people to engage or seek with feedback in all areas of their life. This can be academics, artistic pursuits or sporting endeavours. Seeing feedback as a path to improvement, and not criticism is an important understanding for young people to develop.
