Uplift Learning Schools Program-How To Learn

HOW-TO-LEARN

The purpose of our programme:

We have developed a programme that has been aimed at schools to help students learn the correct practices for studying.

We aim to inspire learners to take responsibility for their own studies and achieve fantastic academic results. With our proven effective approach to learning, your learners can easily:

  • Learn effective reading techniques needed for studying
  • Know how to effectively time-manage their work to avoid last-minute cramming of information
  • Know how to set the correct study and homework timetables
  • Know how to summarise their work and use mind maps
  • Learn memorisation techniques & maximise their memory
  • Know how to process & organise the information given to ensure understanding
  • Eliminate learning anxieties boosting their self-esteem and confidence
  • Learn exam techniques to ensure they are prepared for exams

How it works:

This result-driven course was developed by a very experienced high school PRINCIPAL and that teaches learners HOW TO LEARN! This course is aimed at assisting learners to organise the information in a way that makes sense to them, to show them how to analyse the information presented and think for themselves, and then how to take the information they’ve learnt and put it into manageable pieces for them to work through at a pace that is suitable for them. It also helps with preparing for tests and exams and demonstrates what steps to put into place to ensure they’re ready to write them. This will be held at your school premises at a date suitable for you. We are able to mix the grades, letting the Grades 6 – 9 off earlier and keeping the older grades later to finish the last two modules.

We have two workshops – grade specific:

A) Grades 6 – 9 = 6 Hours

B) Grades 10 – 12 = 8 Hours

Additional Course Information

This successful course was developed by a high school principal which shows your child how to learn, setting them up for success moving forward, so that they don’t keep struggling throughout their school career. In other words, this isn’t just to help them on a once-off basis for their upcoming exam time. Far more importantly, it is designed to be of benefit to them for the rest of their study career – and beyond.

By teaching them how to organize and break down information, they’ll be able to process it more effectively and at a pace that suits them. Also showing them how to prepare for exams with tips on avoiding exam anxiety and how to structure essays.

The course is designed to enhance learners’ abilities to organize, analyse and synthesize information.  The skills focus on the holistic development of information – processing abilities, rather than any `rote – learning – quick – fixes’.  On-going application of the skills mediated in the modules will equip learners with the practical knowledge necessary to perform at their best.
