Educators Toolkit: Helping Students Cultivate Academic Skills and Habits
Katie Klopfleisch and Elizabeth Kellett
Inver Hills Community College
Join Katie and Elizabeth as they discuss their book Educator Toolkit: Helping Students Cultivate Academic Skills and Habits.
About the Book
Faculty and tutors have long known that many students are capable of earning a college degree, but executive function issues—like time management, lack of meta-cognitive awareness and confusion about class expectation get in the way. It can be difficult to help students develop executive functioning skills while also delivering course content. The book Educator Toolkit: Helping Students Cultivate Academic Skills and Habits provides downloadable, customizable resources for faculty and tutors to help them incorporate study skills into assignments, lectures and class activities so students simultaneously learn content and study skills.
