More-Than-A-Planner Planners
Academic and calendar year planners and study planners will be available this summer. Each focuses on developing important human skills.
Be Outgrowing develops essential skill courses and content. We also offer curriculum development and program evaluation services.
More-Than-A-Planner Planners
We will be launcing academic year and calendar year planners this summer. These aren’t your ordinary planners. Our intention is to support the process of how to plan, which is why each planner includes a how-to guide, monthly calendar, and a weekly and daily planner. But with our focus on child and adolescent development, we want to do more. Each week, a bonus skill offers the opportunity to learn about and practice an important life skill. These human skills range from time management, problem solving, motivation, burnout, self-regulation, executive function, and more.
Interested in helping the child or adolescent in your life with study skills? We will also have study planners available, which take what we know about memory and adapt them to weekly study skills.
Courses
We are in the process of moving our classes to Outschool. Along with topics like financial literacy, we will have class versions of our planners for those who are interested in more support for planning, study, and life skills.
Essential Skill Workbooks
Be Outgrowing now offers workbooks for those who prefer this format. Each workbook includes developmentally relevant information and opportunities to practice skills.
We currently focus on content for adolescents and emerging adults, but we are working hard to develop courses and workbooks for K-12 and beyond. And we have big plans to expand our content offerings! If you have a suggestion, please contact us.
Curriculum Creation
Along with developing from-scratch courses and workbooks, we create essential skills curriculum. Our educational and professional experience is in the area of human development and family studies. This means we apply all of our specialized knowledge of development (e.g., cognitive, socioemotional) to any content we create. We strive to be a bridge between complicated research and real-life use. If you’d like to know more about this process, check this out.
What We Do
We create research-based content and courses rooted in our over 30 years of combined experience. Learn more about us!
We structure content around the concept of a growth mindset. Learn what this means and how it makes our courses unique.
We create content that is interactive, engaging, and sparks reflective thinking and application for real-life use.
Why Our Content?
Be Outgrowing content is designed to be bite-sized, yet full of information learners can use throughout life. We (the Dr. B’s) earned our doctorates in human development and family studies and have versatile backgrounds that culminate in classes you can trust for quality. Read more about our backgrounds and approach to creating content. This expertise also guides the development of every workbook, which is a detailed guide to support learners in essential skills, such as motivation.
What’s unique about Be Outgrowing content?
- Each piece of content is created by us, who not only have specialized knowledge in our field, but also are trained to develop and teach online courses.
- A focus on growth mindset means that each class or workbook is not a memorize and regurgitate type of format, but interactive, engaging, and with a focus on applying information, not getting “correct” answers.
- Humor. We love humor. And humor can help with engagement and understanding content. But we use humor to help expand insight and memory, not just because we love a good pun.
