by Peter D. Lenn

This is the new high school edition of the Power Learners Handbook which has been used by over 300.000 teens. This book is designed for a one quarter or one semester course on learning how to learn. This book is especially designed for a workshop or flipped classroom format rather than a conventional lecture/discussion course.A course based on this book prepares students to succeed in their others courses, whether conventional or not. The key elements of the book are a series of academic lessons on learning by doing, using best known methods for various types content and skills, and persevering to mastery. As students one lesson after another, regardless of the time, they experience that they have sufficient intelligence and grit to overcome procrastination, concentrate and perseverance. As they do that, their learning rates in all subjects and their motivation increase dramatically. The flipped or self-paced/mastery format is indispensable to afford the teacher the time to individually help and coach students at different levels, who need improvement in learning from lectures and textbooks, memorizing, writing papers, learning math, managing time, taking tests and concentrating.
