As a child, I would try to share everything I learned at school with my parents when I arrived home. In discussing this information with them, I found that I was able to gain valuable insight from their experiences and feedback. I've come a long way since then, but I still recognize that learning anything depends on the planning and effort invested by the learner. Today I invite you to join me in a pledge to enhance the learning experience. Take a few minutes to review the Academic Success Alphabet listed below and post your comments, sharing how various strategies have helped you.
