Here is a new acronym that you can use to teach study skills. In a previous post I gave the example of LEAN which can be used to teach students good listening skills.
Study Skills Strategies help students stay organized and on top of their work. Today I am going to teach you MARKER. This acronym will help you plan and organize assignments.
M – Make a list of goals, set the order, set the date
A – Arrange a plan for each goal and predict your success
R – Run your plan for each goal and adjust if necessary
K – Keep records of your progress
E – Evaluate your progress toward each goal
R – Reward yourself when you reach a new goal, and set a new goal
This is a really simple strategy that you could teach using the Strategic Instruction Model. You could also make posters and handouts that could also be placed in students study folders.
