LEARNING STRATEGIES DATABASE

Sometimes – assignments lead to gold strikes!

As we struggle in our literacy class to understand the complexities of teaching literacy in addition to learning the taste of a new alphabet soup: QAR, SQ3R, SQ4R, SQRQCQ, CARI, etc. it is nice to stumble on a rich discovery.

Muskingum University has a web site called “Center for Advanced Learning” that has a Learning Strategies Database. Precious!

The data base gives a comprehensive list of strategies for students, parents, teachers, and High School counselors covering a multitude of topics with absolutely great and detailed stragegies that can be followed. For example, note taking, information organization, reading and memory strategies, test preparation and test taking strategies, very impressive. Click on the image below to explore:
