I work with students who have ASD and Aspergers in a public school setting. My question for you experienced secondary students is this: What are your best tips for sorting out important information from less important information in the classroom setting? What tools or strategies have actually worked for you? Are there especially helpful visuals or organizational strategies that have been effective? I ask because I would like to teach late elementary students these skills before they get to the middle school setting. Thanks for your advice!
I wish someone had taught me some organizational and study skills, as I never needed them before High-school as I just remembered everything. Now I have no skills, and now my of skills is keeping me from being as good as I could be in AP US History as the textbook simply has too much unnecessary information to look through it all effectively.
