NABE 2011

NABE 2011 was a huge success! In February, at the National Association of Bilingual Education annual conference in New Orleans, teachers packed the room to hear about the learning strategies found in The Study Coach’s Easy Study Manual. Teachers from across the nation attended and left with valuable activities to teach their students.

It usually only takes the knowledge of a few strategies for a student’s grades to soar, but all of the strategies need to be taught so that each student can select a handful that works for him. Not all of the strategies work for all students because all students do not learn the same—some are auditory learners, some are visual learners; and some are tactile learners. The opposite is also true, that some do not learn through auditory, visual or tactile input. Most commonly, though, students learn through the stimulation of multiple senses, which is why the learning activities in The Study Coach’s Easy Study Manual are effective learning tools—they are multisensory!

Thank you to all of those who attended The Study Coach’s session at NABE 2011! I look forward to seeing you again at NABE 2012!

Signed,
Lora the Study Coach
