Skills Center

The Skills Center provides an opportunity for students to improve their academic skills and begin to understand their individual learning styles. At the beginning of the module, students new to the Skills Center assess their strengths and weaknesses through self-evaluation exercises. All students outline specific goals for the module and then work to improve skill deficits, apply newly learned skills to their other course work, and improve study habits and strategies. Graded evaluation at the end of the module is based upon individual improvement and effort.

The Skills Center teachers assess each student at the beginning of the module and decide on your individualized curriculum:

For students who take two academic courses that require regular written homework. These students learn study skills and apply them to course work. They are expected to meet homework requirements for their other courses and to use time productively in the Center. Some in-class work may be assigned. Students receive a letter grade.

For students who take a history or English course along with a course that does not require daily written homework. These students receive support for their course and also follow a Skills Center syllabus, which focuses on areas they wish to improve. Students receive a letter grade.

For students who do not need support for their other courses, but who wish to strengthen their academic skills. These students follow an individually tailored Skills Center syllabus. In some special cases, English credit may be given. Students receive a letter grade.
