Description

The Student Workbook provides space to work through the strategies, compile information, and practice techniques. While there is some instruction, it is clearly designed to be used in conjunction with the Teacher Edition. This book becomes a student study manual that can be referenced for motivation, inspiration, or review. Both Teacher and Student contain the same additional information and exercises in the Appendix.

Taken from Latin meaning way of life, the Victus Study System aims "to equip the student for success in academics and in life. Students have a role in their own success. By understanding specific steps and strategies, developing specific skills, and utilizing tools, they increase the ability and likelihood of using these daily. The course plan is based on one week (five days) of one-hour sessions. The lessons move students through evaluating where they are now (current study habits and learning strengths), exploring where they want to be (mission and goal setting), and determining how to get there (time management, organization, PQRST Preview Question Read State Test, listening, note taking, and test taking). Lessons combine teacher-led content and student workbook exercises.

Category Description for Victus Study Skills System

Study smarter, not harder! We often expect students to study without really teaching them HOW. Just re-reading the material doesn’t usually help and creates a cycle of frustration. This unique system, developed by professional educators, has helped thousands of students learn effective, lifelong habits, including organization and time management, motivation and goal setting, note taking and test taking, reading with better comprehension, and more.

The essential Teacher Edition provides the course framework for every level of the program. The Teacher Supplement booklet is also required for the Primary and Elementary levels, helping you tailor the course for your students. Teacher resources include a free, downloadable PowerPoint presentation link for visual reinforcement of lessons.

To practice skills, each student needs their own Student Workbook, available in four levels. Course can be taught in five, one-hour lessons and immediately integrated and reinforced in all subjects, or at your own pace. ~Nancie
