Hi all, I'm looking for inspiration. We work with a large number of student athletes here at USF. The feedback we've gotten from athletic dept. advisors is that our courses really make a difference in the athletes' reading and study habits. Now I've been asked to develop a series of three workshops for the beginning of the semester to focus on notetaking skills, time management and test prep. I'm looking for interactive activities that will get the information across in a meaningful way and keep them involved in doing rather than listening. I've done workshops for them in the past but always felt dissatisfied with what I perceived they got from the experience. The student athletes can be a hard group to keep interested and focused in an evening workshop, so appealing to their kinesthetic, team-oriented, and competitive strengths is something I would like to do more of this time around. I would appreciate hearing of any of your experiences and will gladly share what I finally develop. Thanks, Linda Linda S. Evans, Ph.D. Director, Reading & Learning Program SVC 2124 4202 E.
