In teaching our students how to learn, our responsibility is three-fold:
Students must be taught the knowledge and skills of each academic area, including social skills, in ways that empower our students to learn and to succeed in life.
We must lead our students to learn about their own learning, including what approaches are most successful and how to take advantage of their strengths and cope with chronic difficulties.
We must also teach “student skills” including organization, study skills, test taking, note taking, and textbook skills. These skills will help our students gain independence in their learning.
