Welcome
Study Skills is a course designed to enhance curriculum in your child's core academic classes. This course is also a place where students will learn to become more independent and improve with tasks like planning, time management, and organization. My goal is to eliminate frustration in the academic setting and to give students the tools they need to succeed and smile in their classes.
Study Skills is a 41 minute block set into a student's schedule daily. I see my students second period every day. There, we get organized, discuss and plan for upcoming quizzes, tests, and projects while also practicing current concepts presented in science, social studies, math, and English. Students will be working as a whole group, in small groups, and independently.
The most important thing is to remember that study skills is NOT a study hall. Students are not to be leaving homework assigned the night before for this class. It IS a place where I am happy to clarify concepts and answer questions about the week's homework.
