We tell pupils to study, but have we actually taught them how to study??

Today I finished off my ‘How to study: a simple guide on how to study smarter not harder’ PowerPoint. Hopefully will help senior pupils learn how to study effectively ✨

Study skills are key to academic success. Since they’re not usually explicitly taught, a nudge in the right direction from a teacher can make a world of difference. 🌟 Check out active studying practices to share with your middle and high school students: https://t.co/OMW1KK8BZ8
