Teaching the Art of Learning and Boosting Self-Confidence

The conventional method of studying is to read and reread the course materials, take copious amounts of notes, and memorize by voluminous repetitions. This opaque method ultimately lacks the division of labor approach that should be incorporated into a viable study system… that is, breaking down its mechanical parts into separate and distinct processes. In fact, the danger in allowing students to develop and implement their own study methods is to abandon them to experiment with hit and miss methods. While the more arduous students will eventually find their way to a productive learning method, the majority will forsake their search and simply hope for the best. This, of course, is totally unacceptable! Poor study habits discourages enthusiasm and promotes high dropout rates. As such, it’s imperative that students are taught a specific study methodology, which afterwards; they can introduce nuances that highlight their individual learning preferences and unique experiences. Our four, 5-week workshops will teach our proven study method to over 100 middle schoolers. Our goal is to demonstrate conclusively that our teaching method will help students improve their academic performance, boost self confidence, and reduce emotional stress, thereby minifying drop-out rates. Our workshops will focus on four distinct areas of learning: Recreation of study materials Recollection of learned information Formulation of critical thinking skills Communication of knowledge Student excellence is dependent on a focused methodology to organize study materials in a clear-cut, coherent and concise manner. Students motivated by good grades have better coping skills, higher educational and occupational expectations, and perform better in school. Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter We will specifically target middle school students and teach them our comprehensive study method in a simple, fun and creative manner. We will enlist the aid of school administrators, neighborhood libraries, and local church groups. We have already composed and self-publish a 248 page How To Study Book, now available on Amazon.com. We have specifically produce an independent research paper exploring the benefits of a focused study method to help improve student learning and performance. Our ultimate goal is to stem the flood of student drop-outs by teaching students a customize and specifically concentrated study method. Help us join the fight!

Hi, my name is Alana Seenarine, and my sister is Neona Seenarine. We are both honor students, and we’re currently Florida college scholars, majoring in pre-medical studies. I am presently a college junior and my sister is a college softmore. We are the youngest students ever to matriculate into Broward College at the young age of 15 years. Neona is an accomplished artist with many of her paintings on display at the Broward County Library. I have plans to attend NOVA Medical School by my 20th birthday, with Neona soon to follow. We both like ethnic cooking, karate (we're both red/black belts), constructing complex lego structures, reading, and exploring the strange and weird world of Quantum Mechanics, and we actually wrote a 248 page How to Study Book and it is currently available on Amazon.com. Also available for free on our Amazon website, is our Independent Research Paper detailing and advocating the need for students to learn the subtle art of an organize study system. Additionally, we have tons of free educational and learning materials on our blog site: Alana & Neona - All Things Possible. We are extremely proud of our study system. Our study method was exclusively put into practice by both me and Neona across 16 college semesters and over 41 college courses. Because we are both Broward College honor students, we have complete confidence that our proven learning techniques will help others achieve their full potential and dramatically increase students' motivation and enthusiasm. So won't you please support our fight to save America's youth? Who knows, like Khan Academy, this may be the next big thing in childhood development education? And don't forget to check us out!
