Preface
Helping students connect goals to their own passions is a key component of success. The purpose of this
document is to provide resources and strategies that allow students to become self-directed learners and increase
their own academic achievement. The following resources can be used to facilitate this process within the current
instructional curriculum focusing on six target areas:
Interactive Agenda / Planner
Organizational Tools
Note Taking Strategies
Inquiry
Study Success
Virtual Learning
The objective is to equip all students to be responsible, productive citizens, college and career ready, and able to
meet the demands of the global society.
Acknowledgments: The Self-Directed Learners’ Resources was developed under the supervision of Irene Benfatti, Director of Advanced Studies and Gifted Learners and staff. A special thank you to the developers: Kristal Ayres, Stacy Brooks, Erin O’Guinn, and Connie Pickard.

Virtual Learning Environments ~ Preparing students to personalize their own learning
“By pairing personalized learning and technology, a teacher can help students learn what they need
to learn through the topics that interest them most” (Richardson, 2012).
To provide our students with a Virtual Learning Environment, lessons are available to educators through the Advanced Studies
and Gifted Learners Library of Virtual Lessons. Teachers may select lessons to provide curriculum differentiation and Virtual
Learning Opportunities for their students. Within those lessons are collections of tasks and activities for students to complete online.
These activities will provide students with skills in the use of technology, organization, note taking, inquiry and collaboration.
