Description
A bright student can stall out not because the material is too hard but because nobody ever showed them how to study it. That gap is fixable, and the sooner the better.
This self-paced study skills class for junior high and high school strengthens the foundational habits every later course leans on, and it does the work through interactive, game-based activities rather than lecture, which is what keeps students in it.
New modules open each week, so there is a steady rhythm without any scheduled meeting to attend.
The suggested supply list tells you a good deal about the approach: five packs of colored highlighters, index cards, binder rings, erasable pens, colored pencils, a composition notebook, a binder with dividers, and a simple student planner.
These are the tools of a student who has a system instead of a hope.
Melissa Grande, True North’s STEAM Department Chair, holds a Bachelor of Education from the University of Valley Forge and postgraduate work in Environmental Science.
“I love this class!! Mrs. Grande is a great teacher who is very passionate about what she teaches. My favorite topic was the different layers of the atmosphere. I believe this class equipped me thoroughly to take the DSST. Overall 10/10 class, very fun and interesting subjects!”
