Teachers work very hard to effectively communicate information to their students but most of the time, , they still may not see the results they are expecting. The problem may not always lie in the way they teach their students, it may be a result of poor study skills. Teachers can help students improve their study habits with the following tips and tricks. First thing students should learn is to prioritize. How to prioritize can be a difficult task for children. Help your students learn how to prioritize, ask students “How do you prioritize?” Then, as a class, discuss their answers. To help students get a sense of what is most important and how to decide what should come first, write some examples that are familiar to them. Second is how to organize. If they already know how to prioritize, teach them how to organize their goals. The best example is your class goals daily. Tell students their classroom goals are what they plan to do, whereas their priorities are what they have to do. Finding a quiet study space is the key to a positive study environment. This will be the next tips for them. Discuss the importance of finding a quiet space at home to study, and talk about how they may have internal distractions as well. Time management is also a big factor to consider. Learning how to manage time is a skill that students will carry with them for the rest of their lives.   Now that your students know how to prioritize, organize their goals, find a quiet study space, and manage their time wisely, it is now time to test their knowledge.
