Students show up in class thinking that the teacher is there to lay out the perfect plan for them, and theirs is simply to glide through it. Unfortunately, studying does not work the same for each individual and teaching study skills to a student is a great way to teach them to take ownership of their learning. We provide students with study tips and strategies and we teach them how to set goals. These tips go far beyond studying and can teach students to learn independence that will make them ready for career choices and life goals in the future.
