by Pieces of Learning Staff Development Presenter Carolyn Coil
Texas Legacy Award Finalist 2005
This workbook for 4th – 12th grade students asks them to read a little, think a little, and write a little about topics that will help them become successful achievers. These skills will raise student achievement as well as motivate students because of the success they will experiences.
Topics include:
• Developing Self-Confidence and how the student, the student’s family, teachers, and peers, influence success and failure. Students learn the characteristics of achievers and identify their own personal and academic behaviors.
• Goal Setting, problem solving, and decision making and how to plan so that goals can be achieved.
• Motivation, both internal and external, how learning styles affect a student’s motivation to learn and succeed, and how failure affects motivation.
• Time management and organizational skills and tips.
• Study skills and tips.
• How to take tests and participate in other kinds of assessment including rubrics and portfolios.
• How to work within “the system” to become an achiever, attain success, and raise achievement levels.
