Product Description

The process begins by ensuring that the students are ready (physiologically and emotionally) to learn and that they have a working environment that promotes effective learning. "The Accelerated Learning Pocketbook" explains what this entails and then moves on to describe the strategies for accelerated learning. A useful self-evaluation framework is described that will enable teachers to judge and record how far along the continuum of accelerated learning they have reached and what they need to do to move to the next level.

Very Nice Powerful Little Book
Has all you need as a 101 intro to smart learning techniques. It's so good you will spend a year getting all this stuff ingrained before you look for another book on the subject. AND you can read it all in about 2 hours.

In the same vein, Michael Tipper also does a great job with Secrets of Successful Students. And Kevin Paul's american published book Study Smarter not Harder was one of the best I could find when studying the subject at college last year. These three books really do cover the ground - but any one will give you a year's worth of tools and techniques to work on if it's for yourself.
