Summary:
|
|
The District's Educational Services Department has recommended updates in our district-wide course catalog. When a course is discovered to be outdated or curriculum programs have made changes, it is requested that the department team work together to keep the course of study current. The Special Education Department revised the course to align with the California Common Core State Standards to support our students best. This course does not meet the UC/CSU requirements.
Study Skills is a comprehensive study skills curriculum guide that considers various aspects of effective learning, including time management, note-taking, and test-taking strategies. By aligning study skills instruction with the California Common Core State Standards, Educators can effectively prepare students for academic success by supporting students' learning goals. By integrating a study skills course into the curriculum, we can benefit students by empowering them to take ownership of their learning and develop essential skills for academic success.
The Study Skills course will outline academic readiness, organizational skills, self-advocacy, communication skills, note-taking strategies, resources, support opportunities, and the use of Technology, including how to use digital organizational tools, focus on digital citizenship, avoid distractions, and self-discipline.
This course was revised for grades five through twelve. |
