What You Need to Succeed
Becoming a "WYNNER"
There are many books, tips, strategies to help students become more successful in school, to help them study smarter and to be more organized.
The key to their success, however, lies in what actions and responsibility they will take to promote their academic learning. Too many kids today blame others for their failures and are often full of excuses as to why they are not doing well in school.
This approach (W.Y.N.S pronounced “wins”) gives students what they need to succeed in school and breaks things down into basic components. Looking at the big picture is the key to W.Y.N.S.
These are skills students are developing for their entire life; establishing priorities, setting goals, organizing your materials (your papers, laptop, iPad), their space (lockers, desk, office, even computer files), knowing how to write papers, get information from text books, lectures, taking notes and using them to study and finding the best way to demonstrate your knowledge (such as taking test, work production etc.)
