Study Tips

Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers

When reading information, break down every sentence into smaller ones and read each out loud. I try dramatization and making what I'm reading sound interesting as though I'm telling someone a story.

Delayed Feedback

Here is something that happens to all teachers. You prepare and teach a wonderful lesson, but when the bell rings, the students leave without saying a word about how good it was. You cannot rely on instant gratification. Instead, keep in mind that some things you do in class will influence students for years to come.


Saving Students Work

Provide a file drawer in which you have a folder for each student in your class. Each student can file writing projects and important graded assignments in his or her folder. Encourage students to discard unneeded materials so that the folders do not become overly bulky.
