School was largely designed by extroverts, for extroverts. At CityPrep, we help introverted students understand that their introversion is not a weakness, but a strength to be understood and deployed.

Strategies for Introverted Students

Know your energy map and leverage written communication. For more on building unshakeable self-esteem, see our guide on resilience vs. perfectionism. You can find more on introversion in Susan Cain’s work. This is also relevant for empathy exercises.

The Counselor’s Advocacy Role

Advocate for quiet spaces and multiple modes of participation. For more on building a kinder culture, read our post on empathy exercises. This is a key part of self-regulation stations.
