Study Skills

1. Expression Skills

1.1. Test-taking, retrieval, oral/written language skills and demonstrating expression

1.2. Rationale: Teaching students to be able to remember and demonstrate their learning skills, whether it be with oral or written language for tests, projects, homework, or just in class discussion. Students should understand the process of selecting and using appropriate strategies and methods for studying, using their memory, and deciding when they feel their brain has reached capacity. Educators can help assist students in finding ways that are right for their learning style on how to remember information, when to use it, and how to take a test based on what they have learned.
