Academic Study Skills

ACADEMIC STUDY SKILLS:  One year course; Open to grades 9-12.  Course may be repeated for credit.

The Academic Support/Study Skills course will focus on skills necessary to produce successful high school and college students.  Students will receive training in study skills, note taking methods, organization, test preparation, test taking strategies, reading skills, memorization techniques, and the structure of writing.  Academic support will be provided as students co-tutor one another on homework. Approximately ⅓ of the class time is devoted to teaching study skills, with the other ⅔ providing homework time and support.
