About
Study Skills INSTITUTE
|
| Study
Skills Institute
focuses exclusively on providing LearntoLearn
study skills courses and curriculum for
students, parents,
educators and institutions
of learning. Our concern is that too many
students are not receiving comprehensive study skills
training. Hence, our mission is to help provide
such training for students in any way possible. 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. |

| Like
a lock that needs a specific key, student often need study
skills instruction and tips that address their unique
needs. In our decades of teaching LearntoLearn
courses, we've learned to focus on the
unique needs of each student. Likewise, every educator,
every family and every academic institution has a unique
set of needs. Study
Skills Institute
can customize our LearntoLearn
courses and curriculum to suit your specific
needs. Indeed, it's why we are here! |

Students
often develop study habits piecemeal over time, getting tips
on some topics and formal instruction on others. However, too
many students do not receive comprehensive study skills training.
As a result, student habits often have gaps that can cause problems
as they progress through school. Our goal is to provide
comprehensive study skills lessons that ensure students are
not going to "hit the wall" as school becomes more
difficult. |

| The
popular LearntoLearn
Summer Course has been taught on the Wake
Forest University campus since 1972. Geared
toward middle school, high school and college students
who want to improve in school, this course helps students
understand and develop more effective study habits.

Helping
students refine their study habits is just one responsibility
among many for a parent. Needs
can range from seeking advice to resolve a specific issue to
trying to help student who is really struggling. On top
of that, parent schedules, commuting, house rules, family values,
parental priorities and the number, ages and abilities of children
make for many unique circumstances. Our parent
resources are designed to fit within your unique
family dynamic. In fact, our first questions are to figure
out what you need. |

As
any educator knows, it is one thing
to understand a topic and another to teach it. And as
any administrator knows, it is yet another task to facilitate
a course. So while a cornerstone of our LearntoLearn
courses are the teaching methods, it is also
very important to help provide training and curriculum resources
flexibly and affordably. Our first step is a needs assessment
that includes such considrations as student needs, learning
environment, scheduling constraints, instructor needs, available
technology and budget. |
