Established in 2006, Beyond BookSmart, formerly Thinking Outside the Classroom, provides Executive Function coaching to students in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. Executive Functions are self-management skills that help people achieve goals. In order to be effective, students must be able to manage their emotions and attention, organize and plan their work and time, and reflect upon and revise their tactics as circumstances change. Our mission is to empower students to manage themselves effectively by providing tools, strategies and mentoring that lead to a lifetime of success, allowing them to clarify and achieve what is important to them, be more fulfilled, and contribute to a better world. Working 1:1 with students in their homes and online via Skype, our academic coaches use a deep understanding of the stages of behavior change (the Transtheoretical Model, by Dr. James Prochaska, verified by over 35 years of research) as we help them to achieve lasting results that facilitate productivity and confidence. Our headquarters is in Needham, MA and we have over 100 highly qualified and well trained Executive Function coaches located throughout Massachusetts, the New York Metro Region, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and the greater Chicagoland area.
