Many beginning and returning students are confronting for the first time, the challenge of having to learn a great deal of technical material at a rapid pace. In response, biology instructor Diana DeFelice and English/Reading instructor Jan Swinton have paired Biology 101 with a Study Skills class in two modes. Though the makeup and format of the two differ somewhat, the goals have been the same: to help students learn biology and pass the course with a C or better; to help students learn study strategies that they could use immediately in the biology course as well as in other classes; and to help students develop more personal responsibility for their learning. "I was taking a ‘teach a person to fish’ approach in this project," says Jan Swinton. "If we could teach the students HOW to learn biology, and not just the biology, they could take this approach to other classes. I wanted the students to recognize that learning is their responsibility, no matter how tough the textbook and no matter how complex and fast-moving the lectures are."

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Helping Your Students With Homework: A Guide for Teachers - February 1998 Tips for Getting Homework Done 13. Encourage and teach good study habits Children need good study skills in order to complete assignments successfully and gain the most from them academically. Unfortunately, many students haven't developed these skills, even by high school. Some school districts provide comprehensive programs that spell out what study skills students in kindergarten through 12th-grade are expected to learn each year. This can help to assure that important skills are introduced early and nurtured throughout a student's years in school. Kindergarten or first grade is not too early to introduce students to bringing work home, completing it, and returning it to school. Early assignments need to be simple. For example, very young students might be asked to bring a book for an adult to read to them or for the child to read to an adult if he or she can do so. The adult might be asked to initial a bookmark indicating that the book as been read. These early assignments help students grasp the importance of learning at home and show adults that their support for homework is critical. Older elementary school students are ready to learn more advanced study skills. These include:

Home Textbooks Books Music ... Product Support To Teach and to Train by Susan Young Part 1 By definition, to train is "to coach in or accustom to a mode of behavior or performance." To teach is to impart knowledge or skill to. As teachers we must realize that to teach is not necessarily to train, but as we train we never fail to teach. You may ask, "How can an English teacher or a science teacher be training students for a particular role?" These are the subjects that provoke a student to say, "Why do I have to learn this anyway?" or "When am I ever going to use this?" It is in these courses, however, as well as others that the teacher can become a trainera trainer in the study skills needed for their role as students. Most secondary students do not realize that there is training needed to become a good student just as there is training needed to become a good doctor or technician. And we teachers sometimes forget that being good students does not come naturally to most young people. To be effective trainers in the field of study, we must prepare to be good examples. A trainer in sports cannot be out of shape or lazy or disorganized in his approach to physical exercise. In the same way, a teacher should set an example for his students by being organized and "in shape" academically.

Region XIV Comprehensive Center, 1000 North Ashley Drive, Suite 312, Tampa, FL 33602 FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE........7 Teach the Text Backwards: A Practical Framework Which Helps ESOL Students Understand Textbooks The last issue of From Theory To Practice presented three principles which facilitate language learning in content classrooms and gave an example of how these principles could be put into effect in an adapted lesson. This issue suggest a simple, practical framework for applying these principles to student learning from textbooks. The Three Principles, identified from current theory and approaches are: increase comprehensibility (e.g., Krashen), increase interaction (e.g., Swain, Long and Porter), and increase thinking and study skills (e.g., Cummins, Chamot, and O'Malley). How can content teachers implement these principles in mainstream classrooms, especially in upper elementary, middle, and high school grades where much of the learning occurs through the textbook and other reading and writing activities? One way is to use a sequence of presenting new textbook-based material that I call Teach the Text Backwards . The traditional teaching sequence is: 1. Read the text

Home Research Feature Current Issue Forum Feature Search Past Issues Publications ... Contact Us What Secondary Teachers Can Do To Teach Reading A three-step strategy for helping students delve deeper into texts By Vicki A. Jacobs You want me to teach reading? But I'm a content teacher. I don't have time to stop and teach reading. Besides, I wouldn't even know how to begin. These are typical concerns of secondary teachers when asked to take more responsibility for their students' reading. One reason for their concern may be confusion about what secondary reading is. To avoid feeling that they have to stop teaching content in order to teach reading, secondary teachers might think of reading as a comprehension or understanding process that involves three stages. (These stages are derived from a model of learning called "schema theory.") The first stage is called pre-reading. One of the purposes of pre-reading is to acknowledge the different contexts, experiences, biases, and background knowledge (often called the "given") of students that will influence how they read and learn from a text (the "new"). By knowing what students bring to their reading, teachers can provide them with bridges, or scaffolds, between the given and the new-clarifying unfamiliar vocabulary and concepts, and offering other necessary information in the process. Pre-reading activities also promote students' engagement and interest by providing them with means to preview and anticipate the text. Such preparatory activity is critical for comprehension to occur.

P.O. Box 646 Middlebury, VT 05753 Ph: (802) 388-3171 Fax: (802) 388-1590 Strengthening Your Child's Home Study Skills Success in school requires children to use good study skills. Effective studying requires many different skills. While many study skills are taught and monitored at school, success in school will require the use of these skills outside of school hours, for example, when completing homework and studying for tests. Parents can play an important role in helping their children develop good study habits and skills. The ideas described below are specific strategies and techniques parents can use to strengthen their children's home study skills. This handout focuses on three important aspects of effective studying: organization, study strategies, and motivation. Organization Study Environment Find a Good Study Place: One of the most basic habits you can teach your child is to study in one place. Help your child choose a particular location that she can use each time she studies. An effective workplace is one that has adequate space to spread out, is well lit, has the needed supplies close at hand (see list to right), and is relatively free from distractions. Limit Distractions: Observations and surveys of children and adolescents have shown that they frequently choose to study while listening to a radio or watching television. Should this practice be discouraged? Based on studies in this area, the answer appears to be "it depends."

Michele and Catherine have provided numerous workshops to teachers of students in Kindergarten to Grade Twelve and post secondary. They find the most effective workshop is a half-day (three-hour) or a full day (six hour) format. In workshops tailored to teachers, many strategies are introduced, along with information regarding how to implement the strategies in the classroom. The role of identifying learning and teaching styles is also discussed. Pictured below is "The Current" where Michele and Catherine compare the three types of students to the swimmers in the pictures.

The Learning Center has a three week mini-course specially made for how to take a college-level exam. It is called, ACDV B70D ``Study Skills: Test Taking'' and it usually begins the week before the first astronomy exam.

Students who get intensely anxious about exams usually feel that way because they feel they have no control in the exam situation. As a result, they'll blame the instructors, poor questions, difficult material, etc. That negative attitude causes them to lose even more confidence and a downward spiral begins (or continues). There are ways for the student to take back control. The problem may be lack of preparation (problems with time management, notetaking, studying, etc.-
