Why it’s important

Promoting Self-Directed Learning

•  Integrating and scaffolding academic skills in a sequence that encourages students to become more capable in meeting the expectations faced throughout their college career.
•  This approach intentionally promotes the whole student’s growth and development as independent, life long learners, rather than just a student in a single course.

  •  Providing opportunities for feedback and revisions.
•  Planning strategic activities over the course of the semester to promote students’ independence.
•  Asking students to explain the thinking behind an answer.
•  Modeling a positive attitude towards learning.
