Essential Study Skills Course

The Study Skills Class is recommended as the starting place for all 6th through 12th graders who desire to learn how to better plan, manage, organize and complete their work.

The course teaches the
FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS for STUDY SUCCESS.

These set of skills match what is being asked of a student in school. Mastering these skills will allow students to manage a rigorous curriculum with great efficacy and efficiency.

The course is broken down in to five (5) Modules:

Core to success in any grade is the understanding that
“SMART” IS A JOURNEY.

 

The ability to take risks, make mistakes and push through obstacles is critical for young students as they are consistently introduced to material they do not know “yet”.

This “don’t know” → “know” cycle requires students to learn strategies to work through the “don’t know” phase versus just giving up with an “I can’t do this” mantra.

Why Teach a Growth Mindset?

A growth mindset is a belief that we can get smarter through hard work and practice. Having a growth mindset means understanding that intelligence can be developed vs. the belief that it is fixed (either I’m good at math or not). What this means is that struggling with something difficult doesn’t mean you’re not smart; instead it’s a chance to grow your intelligence by using the right strategies. Growth mindset is all about trying hard, getting the help you need, and utilizing different approaches to work through a problem when it’s getting you down.

Fixed Mindset

“The door is either open or closed.”

  • “I’m no good at math (science, art, music).”
  • “My talent is fixed.”
  • “Effort is for those that don’t have ability.”
  • “I’m smart if I finish quickly, easily, and/or make no mistakes.”
  • “I didn’t get it — I’m moving on or giving up.”

Growth Mindset

“There’s a way to open the door.”

  • “Thinking skills can be developed.”
  • “Brains and talent are just the starting point.”
  • “Success comes from effort.”
  • “I’m smart when I try hard, do something I couldn’t before, confront a challenge.”
  • “I don’t get it — can you tell me again?”
