This week the middle school students participated in a proactive, interactive, and self-knowledge centered workshop sponsored by the Academic Center for Excellence.

The workshop highlighted several tips and habits of successful students. The tips taught and emphasized were the following:

Successful students…

• Begin with the end in mind
• Are response-able and proactive instead of reactive
• Learn from and move beyond past mistakes and failures
• Always try something new
• Know their physical needs such as school supplies
• Know their electronic needs such as how to work RenWeb and Moodle
• Go to class
• Sit up front
• Take good notes
• Ask questions

Students used a handout throughout the presentation. This handout prompted them to answer and think about how they could use each of the tips and habits presented and incorporate them into their lives.
