Strategies for Success: How to Study for a Test

Students find it difficult to study for a test, knowing that they should study all the information over multiple days. However, they put it off or simply reread content unsure how to study effectively or efficiently. In this presentation learn proven study strategies for students to actively engage with content, beginning in the classroom and continuing at home during short, frequent study sessions. These strategies take the mystery out of studying and teach the students how to process and learn the information.

Workshop objectives include:

1. Strategies to begin studying in the classroom
2. Strategies to process new information and study efficiently and effectively
3. Ways to begin the new approach to studying for students, parents, and teachers
