How is the SOAR® Study Skills Curriculum different from other programs?
SOAR® is student-friendly because it was originally created by a student. In 1996, Susan Kruger, author of the SOAR® program, was a new teacher just out of college and looking to meet the demand for study skills from her summer tutoring students. As a new teacher and long-time student, Susan was acutely aware of the most common problems that students face. She was also acutely aware of what turned students off to study skills…most of the common strategies are very time-consuming and many are difficult for students to identify when to use. For example, question charts and t-charts are excellent learning tools, but most students do not understand the appropriate time to use them, without a teacher’s guidance. Susan began to identify the most critical problems her classroom and tutoring students were having, as well as the problems she experienced before learning how to learn. She then identified the most efficient strategies for tackling each problem. That was the beginning of SOAR®. Sin
