Being
a great problem solver, Dr. Falkenberg pulled together his
research in learning and compiled it into the LearntoLearn
Course, an intensive course for developing
proper study habits. Over a period of 25 years, Dr. Falkenberg
taught the LearntoLearn
Course privately to nearly 3,000 students.
During this long period the course has been offered in many
settings including as a Wake
Forest University credit course, being adopted
as the W.F.U. tutoring center study skills program and offered
to teachers for development training.
Dr. Falkenberg's
study skills textbook, 15 Days to Study Power (Greencrest
Press, 1994), was written especially for student's taking
the LearntoLearn
course.
In 1986, the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction
adopted the textbook for use in all state high schools.

Nearly
four decades later, there are still many students who are
not receiving comprehensive study skills training. Study
Skills Institute
was formed for the exclusive purpose or providing courses
and curriculum based on the LearntoLearn
principles for students, parents,
educators and institutions
of learning. In this effort we have discovered that
the problem is not just the need for proven study skills curriculum,
but also the ability to implement it in an affordable and
effective way. To
accomplish this we have developed the online Study
Skills Institute which
provides courses, curriculum and resources that can be adapted
for any learning environment. |
