Help Students with Out-of-classroom Performance: Tests, Long-term Assignments and Homework

This webinar features practical no-cost strategies that help most students improve success at doing homework, whether due the next day or over a period of several days or weeks. Essays and book reports can be particularly challenging, especially for students who have difficulty with long-term planning and organizing of their effort. You and your students (grades 4-12) will enjoy using them to improve efficiency at taking class notes, studying for tests, accomplishing day-to-day homework, and performing well on long-term assignments. Many of these methods were developed on students with LD, ADHD, sensory processing impairments, and other learning challenges but also work well with most students. Here’s your chance to learn how to bring students to a new, higher level of accomplishment from their out-of-classroom efforts. As a result, they are more likely to become more attentive, participatory and productive in class.  Many of these strategies are described and demonstrated in Dr. Taylor’s books, booklets, and audio and video productions in this subject area.
