The SMARTS Secondary Curriculum works with existing curricula in general education classrooms, special education classrooms, and learning centers. The program teaches students executive function strategies that help them master challenging academic tasks, e.g., studying for tests, juggling homework and projects, reading and analyzing challenging material, and shifting flexibly especially when moving between in school, hybrid, and remote learning  environments.
