Course Objectives: 

Study Skills is a program designed to assist students with the requirements of their middle school classes. It is primarily structured to address study habits and organizational skills.  Students will work on individual assignments given to them in other classes with the opportunity to ask questions and clarify information in a safe environment.  Students will have time to do research or work on their homework/ assignments using tools taught to them in our class. Students learn to use time management and organizational skills in preparation  for a rigorous academic program and to learn life skills that will continue throughout college and/or a career.

 

Course Content: The program addresses specific study habits including: the importance of study skills, goal setting, time management, taking notes (texts and lectures), reading textbooks, test taking strategies, organization, problem solving, etc.

 

Supplies: All students will use their class binders and keep dividers and lined paper inside.  Students will need to have pens, pencils, erasers, colored highlighters, and a ruler. Students must also use their daily planners where classwork/homework will be written down and come to class with passwords for school websites.
