Supporting very able students
High ability students can be identified in several ways including through their performance, observations of their skills and abilities, and the information known about them. Teachers should intervene to support and extend the learning of these students through specific strategies tailored to their subject and age group, such as allowing students to be self-motivated, think for themselves, and apply their knowledge. It is important to provide appropriate challenges and differentiation for high ability students.
Learning Strategies
This document provides strategies for learning faster and more efficiently. It recommends having a growth mindset and believing you are capable of learning anything. Holistic learning is suggested, which involves organizing ideas into webs to see interrelationships between concepts across different fields. Deliberate practice involves focusing intensely on a topic for 3 hours to improve skills. Learning in groups and from others who are smarter is also advised. Specific techniques mentioned include the Feynman technique of teaching concepts to others and using resources like summaries, tables of contents, and speed reading to shorten the learning curve. The overall goal is to learn more in less time through an organized and interconnected approach.

CHAPTER 8Introduction
Introduction
As an undergraduate, it’s easy to think of psychology as this very static discipline, and if you want more information about some type of behavior, you conduct a search and the information comes to you. As you fulfill the curriculum of your
undergraduate program, your professors and your online courses bring you information,
and your textbooks provide a wealth of knowledge about the subject matter. The Voices
from the Workplace feature box describes a passive approach to learning and under-
standing human behavior. Here I would encourage you to take a more active learning
approach—that is, if you want to get a sense of what psychology is all about, you have to
go and do psychology. We belong to an active and engaging discipline that is passionate
about all aspects of human behavior, and although we do share knowledge in various
forms of writing (journal articles, books, websites), interacting with peers and profession-
als in a conference setting can provide the energy and “juice” about the research enter-
prise. So I suggest that you go and do psychology: Work to become an active contributor to
our understanding of human behavior as well as a consumer of psychological knowledge.

Achieving success in college b&w april 2016
This document provides advice from various college advisors and administrators on how students can maximize their college experience and career opportunities after graduation. They recommend that students utilize campus resources like academic advisors, career centers, professors and mentors. Seeking internships, joining student organizations, connecting with alumni, and pursuing opportunities for leadership and research are also emphasized. Maintaining a balanced lifestyle, attending class, and using support services are advised to promote academic success.

Over 80% of students change their major at least once in college, with most changing two to three times. There are several common reasons for changing majors, including finding a new major that better fits a student's interests and values, choosing a more practical career path, or not receiving adequate career guidance during the initial admissions process. Effective career exploration involves three stages - determining interests, discovering potential careers, and setting goals - to help students choose a major and career path aligned with their strengths and priorities. Career planning can help reduce major changes and time to graduation while increasing motivation, satisfaction, and post-graduation outcomes.

- 3. Contents Maintaining Good Grades Joining the APA Early Career Preparation Thinking about College The “Real” Goal
- 4. Maintaining Good Grades I Do not miss class excessively or arrive tardy; do not skip school, ever!!!! Students should always work on homework early and submit it on-time. Review homework several times before submission. Do not submit work that is worthy of a grade of C, D, or F. Always turn in your best work! When writing papers, consult the grading rubric to see what is required to score well.
- 5. Maintaining Good Grades II Read course material thoroughly and take notes. Do not cram for tests; space out your study time. Always ask for help when subjects get hard. Go beyond assigned work by viewing outside resources to understand the topics covered in class (free materials on science, math, writing, history, & psychology available on youtube, school library, quizlet, university sites, etc.)
- 6. Maintaining Good Grades III For math help, check out youtube. Math teachers show students how to solve problems on that site. If you are still having math trouble, then try purchasing a program like MyMathLab or MyStatLab (for statistics only). They can be purchased with math textbooks or as a stand alone access code. This program can help you master your coursework with consistent practice.
- 7. Joining the APA Why should High School students join the American Psychological Association (APA)? The APA offers publications that discuss career options, tips for time management, new research in psychology, and how to succeed in your coursework. Students can also take advantage of the APA’s graduate student blog (APAGS) to learn about advanced studies that you may consider studying in the future. It is never too early to read about opportunities in psychology.
- 8. Early Career Preparation While this site does provide info on careers, it is wise to visit some of the links and do research on them yourself. As you research careers in psychology, you will become aware of how to prepare for that career path. If you would like to get started on a career now, I encourage you visit the main page on the site and read the “free” Career Assessment post. Then, take the career test (sponsored by the Dept of Labor).
- 9. Thinking About College I often hear students give many reasons why they cannot go to college, but can you think of reasons why you should? College is a great opportunity that everyone should consider. Today, college is not that expensive, depending on what school you choose. If finances are an obstacle, try applying for grants and scholarship early on, but do not wait on money to apply for college. Majoring in Psychology gives students an opportunity to work with people in their community. For instance, a School Counselor works with youth to help them deal with life challenges, consider career options, or a major transition (adjusting to the idea of moving away to college or parents divorce and leaving town).
- 10. The “Real” Goal College is not just about proving that you are smart. College is a way to learn about other cultures, subjects (psychology, business, engineering), vocational opportunities, and how to work well with others. Attending a university helps students realize the diversity in the world, while also reminding students that they have an opportunity to make a difference in the world. For instance, having more diverse professionals with a degree in forensic psychology (M.A. or PhD level) in the criminal justice system may help to lessen the overwhelming wrongful convictions and psychological diagnoses in the U.S.
