| Synopsis: |
Infuse student success into any program with our "Engaging Activities for..." Series. Written and compiled by National Student Success Institute (NSSI(R)) co-founders Amy Baldwin, Steve Piscitelli, and Robert Sherfield, the material is sure to connect, support, and empower educators in the Two-Year, Technical, and Career Colleges. These booklets contain strategies, procedural information, and activities that you can use with your students immediately. Most students approach a study skills course (or book) with little or no enthusiasm. It is not one of the most popular topics in the course catalog. What do you think of when you hear the term study skills? For our purposes, the term "study skills" will refer to the abilities to learn how to do academic things well. Amy, Steve, and Robb have developed this practical compilation, Engaging Activities for Academic Success, as an indispensable, hands-on resource for educators to address the topic of study skills. This booklet will empower teachers, professional development coordinators, coaches, and administrators with tools to actively engage in their classes.They are confident you will find these activities as useful as they have with their students. If you like this NSSI(R) Booklet on Engaging Activities for Academic Success, you will love the series: Active Learning, Understanding the Culture of College, Critical Thinking, Motivation, and Retention. |
