Welcome
to Learning As An Adult!
Going to
school as as
adult is very different from going to school as a child. It
really doesn't matter whether you are continuing on immediately after
high school or whether you have spent many years as a working adult,
being a student as an adult is dramatically different than being a
student while growing up. There are many concerns and issues
that
affect you as adult that you were sheltered from as a child.
Those issues now come out, and you, as an adult, need to deal
with them. And if a few (or more than a few) years
have
gone by since you were in school, there are some habits and skills that
have become weak through inactivity and need refreshing and
restrengthening.
This
site
is dedicated to helping you become a better student and to fitting your
schooling efforts in with the rest of your life. Some of the
skills and habits covered in this site are
- Making
reading a habit and improving this skill
- Managing
the time requirements of school and the rest
of your life
- Preparing
for tests efficiently and effectively
- Making
the most of the time in the classroom
- Getting
the attitude and beliefs that will allow you to
overcome the obstacles you will face
This
site contains or
will contain several elements. In the public section, I have
free
downloads of strategies and activities that will help you as a student.
You will be able to read my blog and sign up for my biweekly
newsletter, which will contain articles about student skills, book
reviews, and references to resources I have found or that are
recommended to me. In the member section, I have interactive
tutorials, more in-depth strategies, and worksheets to help you with
your student activities. You will be able to get coaching and
mentoring, and you will get at least one information product a month.
This site offers much to the adult student, but the most important
thing I can offer is encouragement. I have seen thousands of
students, and I know that everyone can become an effective student.
This is not just a belief, this is a certainty. So
check
out my public area, get some free stuff, and see if you want to become
a member. I look forward to working with you.
