Study Skills |
|
Study skills are the learned abilities that support the acquisition of content knowledge and competencies. When students learn study skills, they are learning ways of problem-solving and methods or techniques which can be used in any academic context. Through study skills instruction, students develop ways to study more effectively and to be in charge of their own learning. Explicit instruction will enhance the use of study skills. While most study skills are basic to all learning, some subject areas have additional sets of specific skills essential to the mastery of their academic disciplines. Skills will be reinforced through practice in content area classes. Mastering study skills is critical for life-long independent learning. The teaching, development, and reinforcement of study skills are dependent upon cooperation among students, home, and school. In grade 6, study skills are introduced and reinforced within reading and other content area programs. In grade 7 and 8, study skill strategies are reinforced in all disciplines. The media specialists, in conjunction with the library skills curriculum, also teach and reinforce study skills at all grade levels. In the case of classified students, study skills will be delivered within the in-class support environment (team teaching) and in the resource center reading comprehension program.
