Effective and ineffective learners can be seen as opposite sides of a continuum, with the majority of our students falling somewhere in the middle.

This program showcases the characteristics of effective learners and focuses on instructional strategies teachers can use to help students develop the learning skills they need to succeed in college and in life.
Through the five methods discussed in this engaging program, and the portraits of effective and ineffective learners included in the supplementary materials, you will come away with expert strategies from a world-renowned teaching and learning specialist that will move your students toward becoming effective learners, allowing them to pursue understanding, learn from failures, and continue learning for life.
