Course Description:
This study skills class will cover skills associated with time management, learning styles, note-taking skills, and test-taking strategies.
This course will be taught using an incremental teaching style, whereby a new concept is introduced every two weeks as well as to review the concepts from previous weeks. Effective study skills are learned and retained best when they are being implemented, not just discussed. Students must use these skills and strategies regularly so that they can see the benefits and will, therefore, continue using them. There will be plenty of handouts and hands-on activities for each skill or strategy so students are clear on how to implement each.
This course is for all students in upper elementary. middle-school and high-school, not just for students who are struggling with study skills. All students can gain much-needed skills, skills that they will use in high school (studying at home, online courses, at school or co-op, etc.), as well as in college.
Course Expectations: Students will be expected to maintain a Daily Planner and class binder consistently and to implement regularly the strategies taught in class. There will be assignments related to their school work, as well as occasional quizzes to check retention.

Teacher Provides: A Daily Planner for each student (details to come), their Study Skills resource binder, and all supplemental materials needed for class.
