Integrated Study Skills

The process of learning how to study, in order to be effective, must meet two criteria: (1) that it is sequentially ordered in the instructional programs, and (2) that it be learned through direct application to a formal body of knowledge. Study skills, once learned, enable the student to learn efficiently and effectively. At the elementary school level, study skills do not require a separate course treatment; they are the enabling process by which students become lovers of learning, develop inquiring minds, and are able to seek higher levels of inquiry and interests beyond the school curriculum. Additionally, study skills are the means through which independence in learning is achieved.

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public School District recognizes the importance of this process goal and makes provision within the curricular disciplines for students to receive instruction in these skills in all areas of the program of studies. These and additional skills are taught and enhanced through specialized application in the library/media program of the elementary schools in the district.
