Elective Courses

Study Skills Institute can help you establish an elective course  that addresses a school's unique circumstances.  We've already thought through many of the questions that need answering before implementing elective courses. 

 

 

Elective Pack

LearntoLearn Elective Course Packs are designed with high schools in mind. The elective pack considers everything from the administrative decision to offer the elective to the end of course report.  We can even help get the the course up and running when a last minute budget decision necessitates a quick start.

Questions We've Already Asked...

Below are some of the key questions we've already thought to ask: 

How many students will be in the class?  How many sessions will there be? What grade level(s) are the students?  What achievement level(s) are the students?  How many days per week will the class be taught?  Is the class part of a study hall or a stand-alone?  Are computers available?  What technology is available?  Will there be more than one teacher?  How can we train a teacher effectively and affordably in such a short time if the teacher has numerous other responsibilities? 

Clicks & Bricks Part of the customization process is to discern how much technology is needed. Each aspect of the course can be taught or administered online, electronically or with pen and paper. We just need to know what technology you have available and how the teacher prefers to run the course.
Custom Curriculum

LearntoLearn courses teach as many as 15 topics to students of all levels. Our familiarity with the time needed to teach topics and skills helps us determine what can be taught effectively in a given time or setting.  So we can assess students' ages and needs, along with the instructional, scheduling and administrative constraints to help you find a curriculum that you can best offer given your unique situation. 

Teacher Training
& Support

There is no subsitute for experience.  Study Skills Institute supports teachers throughout the course.  While the training and instructional materials cover everything a teacher needs, there are often intangibles that can come up when teaching the course.  Since the path from introducing a topic to having students master the skill is rarely a direct line, it helps to be able ask questions.  After a lesson, a teacher can touch base with any questions or concerns.
