We believe in the concept of students taking ownership of their learning. We teach students tools that they will use for a lifetime, not just for a subject.
Merriam, Caffarella and Baumgartner describe Self-Directed Learning as having these main goals…
“To enhance the ability of learners to be self-determined in their studies”
“To foster transformational learning”
“To promote emancipatory learning and social action as integral parts of the method”
TRUST places these goals at the core of its instruction and trains its instructors to help students process problems at their own pace versus pushing them through the instruction. In general, the more students practice developing these problem solving “brain muscles”, the more apt they will be to building better study habits, faster, thorough processing, and being better learners.
Practice is key, but strategic practice is much more effective. TRUST along with certified psychologists and educators have created content that instructs students in accordance with the Self-Directed Learning Method.
Included in the by-products of this method and services are study skills, writing, technological learning, phonics, and vocabulary. Reach out to us today!
