What Skills Does Your Student Need to Succeed in the Information Age?

So much has changed from the days of a single textbook and a classroom teacher. Today’s modern student is simply not equipped with the necessary skills to organize, process, manage, prioritize and learn from the massive amounts of information they encounter.

That’s why The SOAR® Learning & Soft Skills Curriculum (aka SOAR Study Skills Curriculum) teaches the most critical learning, organizing, and communication skills needed to be successful in school, in virtual learning environments, and in the workplace. Those skills include:
