Study Skills
Study Skills is a structured block for students to practice skills; develop learning strategies; and get extra support in subject areas that are challenging for them. We will focus on executive function; including time management; organization; goal-setting; planning; and prioritizing; as well as study strategies; writing; reading; and math skills; self-advocacy; mindfulness; and growth mindset. In addition to these skills; students will work in small groups and independently to complete assignments from content-area classes; with one-on-one teacher support; as needed. By the end of the course; students will be able to reflect on their own learning; determine how they learn best; and apply strategies to increase their understanding across the curriculum.
Students will demonstrate growth in their ability to complete work independently; apply strategies and utilize tools appropriately; and address challenges throughout their days.
