Test prep skills: public talk tomorrow
Speaking tomorrow on test taking and presentation skills. UCSF Mission Bay campus. Here's the description and the link. Please attend! PERFORMANCE: PUMP UP SUCCESS SKILLS II Tuesday, November 3, 4-5pm, N114 Genentech Hall MB First you prepare. Then you perform. Learning invaluable tools to access, process, and retrieve the right information in the right situation is key to success. You can perform according to your potential: capable, in charge, and successful. Dr. Bernstein's techniques add the final touch to intense preparation. "I am confident I will continue to use these techniques throughout my career," 3rd yr. grad student UCLA. Genentech Hall is on the map http://www.ucsf.edu/maps/ I'll have to check with Pam about parking and what is best that time of day. I think the BART and T line would be way too cumbersome.
Students receive THE WORKBOOK as a sponsored gift!
All 80 students of the Young Musician’s Program at the University of California Berkeley, received THE WORKBOOK FOR TEST SUCCESS as a gift from a very generous YMP Board member. YMP is an exceptional program for underserved youth, holding yearly auditions for musically talented and musically promising students . Though there is a strong focus on music, YMP is a college-track program– with 100% success rate of its students getting into schools — including Juilliard and Oberlin– many at full scholarship. The dynamic director of the program, Daisy Newman, invited Dr. Bernstein to work with the students on issues related to performance (anxiety; dynamism; preparation; academic issues), and the results have been palpable. The students were thrilled to receive the book. Said one, “This book is so great. It’s just like having Dr. B in my house!” We are seeking sponsorships like the one at YMP– to get the book into the hands of the students, parents and teachers who can really use it. If you are a board member or a philanthropist, please contact us to discuss your group and how we can work together.
