Psychology Unit
SAS hosted an online psychology unit for members in 2024/2025 to teach useful skills and habits that could be applied to everyday life. The sessions were led by Mrs. Cheryl Van Zuylen, who guided the participants through the two books The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey and Outsmart Your Brain: Why Learning is Hard and How You Can Make It Easy by Daniel T. Willingham.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
This book by Sean Covey guides teens on a path to reach their goals with seven useful habits. In the SAS sessions, Mrs. Cheryl Van Zuylen went over the key points of the book during online meetings, and participants were given a workbook along with the book to further enhance the development of their thinking outside the meetings.
Outsmart Your Brain: Why Learning is Hard and How You Can Make It Easy
This book by Daniel T. Willingham provides useful tips for studying. In this session, participants not only received practical advice but were also able to practice their leadership skills by creating slides and leading the discussion.
