This book is part of the Division 15 series "Psychology in the Classroom," which is aimed at elementary, middle, and high school teachers. The goal of this series is to encourage teachers to base their daily classroom practices on sound principles derived form the latest educational psychology research. The series thus bridges the gap between theory and practice. Each book is written in an accessible, straightforward style and contains a wide range of user-friendly features, such as real-life case illustrations, sample classroom activities, self-study questions, and suggested readings. Every teacher would like to have a classroom full of "smart learners." This accessible guide for midddle school and high school teachers will show the reader how, through self-regulatory training and development, the classroom can be converted into a learning academy full of motivated, empowered students. Teachers will learn how to help students develop five essential study skills as part of their regular classroom assignments: time planning and management, text comprehension and summarization, classroom note-taking, test anticipation and preparation, and writing. Five-week curricula models are presented for each skill area.
