Learn what to do when you're not sure what do do!

'Active learners' learn more, remember more and recall more than 'passive learners'

When given a task, 'active learners' can quickly figure out what they are being asked to do.
When working through a task, 'active learners' can break down tasks into smaller steps.
When the deadline arrives to complete a task, 'active learners' hand in the task on time.
And most important, 'active learners' know how to ask questions when they are not sure what to do.

Work with this experienced, caring, fun NYC retired Special Education Teacher and become a less passive and more active learner.
Subjects include reading, writing, speaking, spelling, language arts, social studies, humanities for grades pre-K through grade 8.
