Counselor's Message (from the current newletter)

Each year students take a Multiple Intelligence Survey and scored it on a bar graph. Some time is spent explaining the results so that students would understand their learning styles. The purpose of this activity is to improve our students' understanding of how they learn best so they could improve their study habits and know how to study for classes. I know from doing makeup sessions with some of the students, that "time" is an issue and maybe not all the students understand the various ways to learn, so I am including a chart to further explain the ways to study according to your student's thinking (intelligence) style.
