Background
In line with current research, we acknowledge the need to develop students who are lifelong learners who possess the skills they need to effectively participate in workplaces and communities of the future, who are literate, numerate, articulate and effective in applying the skills associated with learning and who are socially competent. To achieve this, we believe that there is a need to be specific in the way in which we teach not only the basic skills of literacy and numeracy but the broader skills associated with effective learning and thinking.
Approach
As a Learning to Learn course provider emphasis has been placed on maintaining, refining and improving teaching and learning in order to optimize students’ potential, achievement and success. This program was designed universal in order to fit in educators frame notwithstanding their background or teaching subject. Approaches, methods and techniques has been tested with different audiences and age students.
Learning goals
Five-day course that teaches students successful methods for improving note-taking, reading, time-management, critical thinking, research paper writing and test preparation skills. Participants begin the process of understanding their own learning styles and strengths.
