The number one problem facing many high school students: They haven’t been taught how to learn. Because our current educational system focuses on test results, few students are deliberately taught about learning - about developing the particular mind-set and using the specific skills that can help them graduate with exemplary grades and an exemplary mind.

In fact, learning is a skill that your student can easily make a part of his or her everyday life and use as a powerful tool for success, both inside and outside the classroom. All it takes is a mastery of research-proven strategies. Professor Michael Geisen, the 2008 National Teacher of the Year, has spent his teaching career showing thousands of students these and other skills. And with How to Become a SuperStar Student, 2nd Edition, he can give your own student the same vital skills that will carry him or her through high school, college, and well into the challenges of adult life.

This highly engaging 12-lecture course is a commonsense guide to learning that addresses areas students have the most difficulty with - and that parents show the most concern about. Packed with advice, tips, tricks, and resources, this masterfully updated version of our highly popular study guide course has the power to transform your student’s education into a world-class learning experience.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The course was informative and entertaining to both my child and I. Worth listening over and over again.

Fantastic

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Although there is a picture of a university student on the cover, this book is aimed at junior-high to high school level.

For high school students

I was hoping this might have some useful thoughts about learning as an adult, but it truly is just for young kids and their parents. I could see it being helpful in that context, but really only that context.

ALSO, it features way too many goofy sound effects. The constant boops, bings, and cat screams are astoundingly distracting.

No Useful Adulting Ideas

I’m sure that this great courses title is an excellent video for junior high students. But it’s simplified nature makes it a ridiculous lesson for anyone post-puberty.

Beyond that, as an audible selection it heavily relies on visual references that this platform simply doesn’t support.

If you have a motivated junior high student, this great courses series might suit them well. But as an audible selection as opposed to a video or for an older listener, it is utter garbage.

Un-listenable
