Purpose

To help students develop metacognitive study skills that they can apply in their AP courses, non-AP courses, and, if applicable, adapt for advanced study.

Outcome

Students develop metacognitive skills that they can utilize independently in their AP classes and beyond.

Action Steps

Establish a support time where students can receive remediation or study skills support.

Directly teach students about metacognitive study skills through the linked protocol.

Students select 1 – 3 skills they want to practice implementing for two weeks.

Before an exam, remind students of these skills and provide review materials and/or opportunities where students can practice these skills. (Example: time to work with someone else/explain content outloud, test yourself, fill out an organizer with writing, etc).
