Module 6: Strategies for new learning

"A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Annie Brock and Heather Hundley, The Growth Mindset Coach.

Goal: This week students will learn about specific learning strategies that are grounded in growth mindset and self-regulated learning. These strategies will move student’s studying from passive learner to active participant in the learning process.
