Beginner Level
This note-taking workshop explains the fundamentals of active listening, an introduction to the Cornell Method, application of skills, and retention-oriented! Peer-to-peer review allows students to discuss the Cornell Method, experiences, and feelings (hint-hint active listening skills coming into play). My teaching style for this course is to build confidence using a method of note-taking that's useful, efficient, and foolproof. Students may feel overwhelmed in high school. I want to build confidence in the material being learned by allowing students to take control through their quality over quantity note-taking. No experience is necessary, this is a beginner-level workshop - all new learners feeling nervous about high school classes - or who are currently in high school are welcomed and highly encouraged! Workshop 1: Introduction to Cornell Note-Taking System, active listening, & retention. Workshop 2: Note-taking Engagement!
Learning Goals
My goal is to offer one (1) very effective note-taking method. The goal is to build confidence and retention in every student's learning journey.

I have 10 years of experience in higher education. I am more than proficient in the art of note-taking and I believe I can offer several techniques, tips, and tricks during this workshop. I have also been in the administrative workforce for 12 years to which I am responsible for note-taking (meeting minutes) for my organization. I serve on a prestigious board for data and information as well as heading three committees, all of which I am responsible for scribing notes.
Note-taking skills do not stop in the education sector - they may follow your kiddos into the workforce and beyond! Reviews
