WHAT ARE STUDY SKILLS? 

Picture

Study skills are the skills: 

  • required to be an independent learner. 
  • that build confidence.
  • that develop efficiency.
  • that improve performance to prepare our students for high-stakes tests and the globally competitive job market of the future.
  • that enable students to be proactive, make good decisions, and think critically.

STUDY SKILLS SHOULD BE STUDENT FRIENDLY 

Student-friendly study skills are:

  • Time-efficient,
  • Effective, and
  • Apply across all content-areas! 

WHY ARE STUDY SKILLS
IMPORTANT? 

Take a moment to review these shocking statistics:

  • 30% of students drop out of high school in the United States.

  • 40% of college students have to take at least one remedial course in college.

  • 50% of college students never complete a degree.

  • 66% of high school honor students fall behind in college.

  • According to a 2009 study by Ohio State University:

  • 47% = the increased likelihood that "struggling" high school students will graduate from college if they take a study skills class.

  • 600% = the increased likelihood that “average” high school students will graduate from college if they take a study skills class.

  • Now imagine if you could give your child the advantage of learning study skills before college.
