THE STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING PROGRAMME has been developed by the University of Kansas Centre for Research on Learning to enable students to learn study skills and content material effectively. Each strategy under the system is task specific and is designed to meet specific curriculum demands, developing the student’s ability to gather, organize, store and retrieve information, and finally express it effectively in writing. This programme is well suited for use with students with Learning Disabilities as well as mainstream students in middle and senior school.
