有的孩子学习很有激情，很自觉，制定学习计划，按时完成功课，积极参加课外活动。有的孩子迟迟不去学习，不完成功课。您是否希望能让孩子在日渐繁重的学业压力中继续保持探索欲? 让我们一起来聊聊如何点燃孩子的自驱力，让孩子愿意学且愿意主动学是关键。

大家都知道随着年纪的增长，孩子的学业越来越重。从小就培养孩子的自驱力、养成自律的学习习惯、有规律安排学习和活动时间的能力，事半功倍，学业进步会很快。这是一个非常重要的技能。

良好的自驱力能够让孩子在日后持续自主地探索研究，善于用热情引导自己学习。让孩子成为不用催而是自发探索的终生学习者。好的学习习惯的则能让孩子有计划、有规律地把每周学业和其他各种活动方面安排的有条不紊。孩子不但能够在学习上游刃有余，也有足够的时间去探索兴趣爱好。

为了探讨这个对孩子成长很有益的话题，培养孩子自律和自驱力，我们请到了一位培养出来了两个幸福的、爱主动学习的妈妈来无私分享自己如何做孩子们的榜样，如何让孩子养成好习惯和自驱力，快乐、幸福地学习。

孩子的整个成长过程受到很多因素的影响。环境是主要影响因素之一。首先是家庭，父母的教育理念，教育方式，兄弟姐妹的相互影响。家长的以身作则能够让孩子潜移默化地习得好习惯。其次，学校的环境。孩子所在学校的校风、老师的引导和鼓励、同学之间相互的交流和影响、每天的所见所闻组成了这个环境。孩子是在观察别人的行为中学习成长。

学校是孩子除了家庭环境以外接触最多的一个场所，毋庸置疑择校极为重要。若想选择一所适合自己孩子的学校，那先了解各类学校的特点、选择的时候应该考虑的因素、以及准备过程就很有帮助。

美国的学校大致有三类：公立学校、私立学校和教会学校。选择学校一定要认真考虑和权衡，充分了解学校的情况，避免盲目跟风和盲目攀比。

这一次讲座我们还请了三位在新泽西州私校或教会学校学习孩子的妈妈们来分享她们孩子在校的学习心得。不论你是想了解不同类型学校的信息，还是已经选择好学校，这个讲座都会对您都有很大帮助。

日后我们还会请更多各类学校的家长们来分享，请关注本站，掌握最新 VSA Future公益讲座信息！

在聊到私校的时候，我们还将介绍ISEE和SSAT的区别。简单来说这两个考试都是私立学校的入学考试，它们的区别在于ISEE更侧重于学术能力和思维能力，而SSAT则更加注重学生的综合素质和语言能力。家长需要根据孩子的实际情况选择考试，并进行有针对性的准备。

欢迎点击报名讲座，让我们一起分享孩子的成长经历，相互鼓励，让我们的孩子健康快乐成长！

总之，学校的选择和申请需要慎重考虑和认真准备的，而教育不仅仅是选择学校，更是一个长久的培养和共同成长之路。VSA Future 不仅希望帮助大家找到更适合自己孩子的教育平台，更十分注重培养孩子的独立人格和负责任的品性。

我们希望通过这个讲座，让你和你的孩子都在提及“教育”二字的时候，能感到幸福多一分，焦虑少一分。

VSA Future 教育学院办学宗旨是美好的未来始于早期激励的教育。VSA Future 希望能提供一个丰富的学习环境, 让学生得到终身受益的技巧包括写作，公众演讲，数学技能。

VSA WRITING STUDENTS BRING HOME 11 AWARDS IN 2023 SCHOLASTIC WRITING AWARDS

VSA Future is delighted to announce that our talented writing students took home eleven accolades in the 2023 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the prestigious national competition that recognizes and supports the creative endeavors of teens across the United States.

Among our winners are one Gold Key, two Silver Keys, and eight Honorable mentions. The awards were issued in a wide range of genres, ranging from Personal Essay & Memoir and Critical Essay to Flash Fiction, Poetry, and Short Story.

100TH ANNUAL CALL FOR ENTRIES

This round of Scholastic entries was particularly notable, as it marked the program’s 100th annual call for entries. Our students joined other young scholars in both the United States and Canada to submit their work for recognition in categories ranging from journalism to poetry in this remarkable centennial. Most of our students competed in the Region-At-Large East Writing.

SCHOLASTIC AWARDS LAUNCH CREATIVE CAREERS

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards were founded in 1923 to encourage and recognize student achievement in the creative arts. Now celebrating its 100th Anniversary, the Scholastic Awards attract over 350,000 entries in 28 categories of writing and the visual arts. Students 13 and older can submit original work across 18 award categories in writing and art. Award selections are based upon originality, skill, and the emergence of personal vision or voice.

The Scholastic award winners join the ranks of the awards’ accomplished alumni, which include filmmaker Ken Burns and writer Joyce Carol Oates to novelists John Updike and Stephen King. Other alumni include notable artist Cy Twombly, photographer Richard Avedon, actress Lena Dunham, and many more. Click here to see a full list of notable alumni.

The program has for generations launched successful artists, writers, and professionals in a wide variety of industries, with many luminaries attributing their confidence to pursue their careers to the Awards. Since its inception, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have encouraged the passions, talents, and perspectives of millions of teens, validating their creative abilities and the belief that their voices matter.

CONGRATULATIONS, VSA WINNERS!

We extend our congratulations to all of this year’s winners! We’re so excited to continue our tradition of cultivating independent and responsible students whose hard work is recognized by achievements such as the Scholastic awards. We welcome the 2023 winners into the VSA fold that already includes multiple Scholastic gold, silver and honorable mention winners from recent years.

Some of this year’s winning pieces were shaped through the time our students devoted to their English, Reading & Writing classes, which help learners develop strong, unique essays, hone their critical thinking skills, and foster a love of the written word — all so that they can express themselves confidently on the page.

Visit the Kids Corner section on our website to read a selection of Scholastic Award–winning essays, stories, and poems from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 contests.
