If you were to ask your child what studying looks like, what do you think they'd say?

If your child is like most students, they might be a little stumped. Students will typically say something like, "reading over notes" or "completing the study guide," but they are rarely able to articulate actionable, concrete steps associated with studying.

Throughout this four-week, flexible schedule course, students discover their unique learning style and practice using a variety of tools to identify what works for them individually. Students learn and develop their executive functioning skills through lessons and activities designed to build their toolkit and prepare them for success throughout their educational journey.

Every Monday, students have access to materials for the week which include the video lesson and PDF packet. The printable PDFs contain note taking guides, graphic organizers, supplementary activities, and other resources. I would recommend utilizing a binder for housing materials both for organizational purposes now and as a tool that students can return to in the future. 


As a teacher, I encourage student learning through self-discovery. I strongly believe that students learn best when they are given hands-on opportunities to explore the world, draw conclusions, and have room to make mistakes. I want this course to be a safe place for students to reflect and improve upon their current learning strategies and feel empowered to take control of their educational experience. 

Throughout the course, students are encouraged to utilize the classroom page for discussion and further questions. 

No experience or background knowledge is necessary for this course. Students should be ready to explore their learning style, and bring any materials from their school to practice these strategies in a real-world setting.
