Student Support in Learning Strategies and Study Skills

Help your child become a more effective learner and experience greater academic success through well-implemented learning strategies and intervention.

• Does your child need help in developing more effective study skills?

• Is getting your child to complete homework assignments an ongoing challenge?

• Do you need suggestions for new strategies to help your child with his or her homework assignments and schedules?

• Does your child need assistance in developing new strategies for:

• Time Management
• Organizational skills
• Completing assignments efficiently and independently
• Doing homework in a quiet, uncluttered environment with few distractions
• Planning and self-pacing
• Self-monitoring and self-evaluation
• Developing efficient study habits

•  Do you need help assisting your child and in implementing new strategies and  interventions?
•  Do you need support in talking with your child's teacher(s), at  parent-teacher conferences, or at IEP meetings?

Help your child to become a self-directed, independent, self-regulated learner.

What is a self-regulated learner?

A self-regulated learner is one who is aware of his/her own strengths and weaknesses and is guided by his/her own personally set goals and tasks. The self-regulated learner is active in his or her own learning process. Self-regulated learning strategies are actions and processes the student employs. These include self-evaluation, goal setting, planning, appropriately seeking help, practicing and memorizing, and organizing new information.  Students who are intrinsically motivated to learn and show self-confidence in their abilities to perform class work successfully in different academic domains  benefit from a greater sense of self-efficacy.  Current research suggests  that students who are self-regulating demonstrate greater academic success in school. For some students self-regulation is inherent and comes naturally. For others, it does not.  Therefore, intervention in learning to employ powerful learning strategies is critical for the student to learn to become self-directive, independent, and self-confident in his or her learning process.
