Reinforcing "good" study habits to continue from middle school and introducing advanced strategies for effective high school performance are the key ingredients of the 30 Hour edition. It uses a 9.2 readability to engage students in using practice exercises common to high school cognition. Students discover new ways of handling regular class assignments with greater speed and understanding. Success is a built-in ingredient in each chapter as examples move from easy to more difficult. A pre and post test survey is available that documents the gains of students as they master the techniques presented. A pre and post test Parents' Observation survey is also available for engaging parents in the evaluation process. (click Pre/Post Assessments for more information.)

TEACHER MANUALThe TEACHER MANUAL provides a clear, step-by-step instructional format that emphasizes learning-by-doing by students over direct lecture by teachers. Each lesson is developed in a "scripted" format to reduce preparation time. Interaction with students using questions, a Transparency and Listening Tape Set, and practice examples in the Student Workbook allow teachers to maintain an active student-centered learning atmosphere that emphasizes self-discovery and the trial and error of learning using an active "hands-on" format. Each lesson includes 10-15 pages of instruction, requires no special training, and can usually be organized into 1-2 hours per class. Size 8 1/2" x 11", spiro bound, 160 pages Transparency Set=78 rainbow colored, 8 1/2 x 11", Listening Tapes= 9 emphasizing listening/outlining/note taking |
