One of “The Great Courses”. The number one problem facing many high-school students: They haven’t been taught how to learn. Because our current educational system focuses on test results, on making sure students memorize the facts and material needed to pass standardized tests, few students are deliberately taught about learning—about developing the particular mind-set and using the specific skills that can help them graduate with exemplary grades and an exemplary mind. Learning is a skill that your student can easily make a part of his or her everyday life and use as a powerful tool for success, both inside and outside the classroom.
There are twelve 30-minute lessons on two DVDs (6 hours): A Philosophy of Learning – The Right Attitude, The Learning Journal and Effective Study Habits, Annotation and Active Reading, Class Notes and Exam Preparation, Jam Writing and Informal Writing, The Formal Essay – Drafting and Editing, The Master Schedule – Planning for Success, The Research Paper – A Demonstration, The Well-Rounded High School Student, After High School – An Educational Plan, Helping Your Children Learn, and Helping Your Children Achieve Success.
