Study Skills

Studying today is different than it was even 5 years ago. Today, more students are accessing text online. Some courses have only online textbooks and others use online text resources and materials. What hasn't changed is the need for students to close read, annotate, take notes and amend notes, and learn to study from those notes along with other supplemental classroom materials.

A variety of resources and strategies are available here. Each K-12 classroom teacher and support personnel should review these strategies in order to incorporate them into their day to day classroom setting in order to teach students how to manage and make sense of the information they are accessing.
