In fact, learning is a skill that your student can easily make a part of his or her everyday life and use as a powerful tool for success, both inside and outside the classroom. All it takes is a mastery of research-proven strategies, including
recognizing one’s learning style, and tapping into its specific strengths;
taking notes effectively to avoid missing out on what’s being covered in class;
knowing how to organize and prioritize homework and class projects;
solving problems with creativity and critical thinking; and
approaching tests with focus, thorough preparation, and confidence.
