Clase de varios días para dominar las técnicas de estudio

Study Skills are important for learners to succeed, but nor a skill many students acquire naturally.  In this ongoing class students will spend each class acquiring skills like note taking, test preparation, flash cards, creating mnemonic devices, and scheduling their time to improve their study skills.  The class is broken into three 4-week segments to make the class affordable for families, and easier for reimbursement from charters and/or co-ops. 

This class is for students who struggle academically, or who possess minimal study skills.

Week 1           Can You Hear me?  Listening Skills.

Lessons are taught using videos, slide shows, lecture, and interaction.  Skills are presented to learners, they are able to ask questions, and are encouraged to bring their real life challenges to class for additional support and assistance. Three class periods are spent applying the acquired lessons and skills to students' learning practice with guidance from the teacher.  Each week builds upon the lessons of earlier weeks. 

Students will be provided templates and handout resources for ongoing guidance beyond this 12 week class.
