Barriers to Learning
WELCOME TO APPLIED SCHOLASTICS!
Applied Scholastics Spanish Lake is Applied Scholastics’ premiere Educator Training Institute. For nearly two decades, the Institute has helped educators around the world to enable their students to become more accountable, self-directed and self advocating learners with
Study Technology.
Fundamental to Applied Scholastics programs is the premise that a successful education is far more than just being able to read with the end result of passing an examination. It includes the ability to understand and utilize the information one studies. To this end, one gains the skill to “think with” the data in order to use it to better one’s life.
Whether one wishes to open a new
Applied Scholastics Learning Center, school or community program, or learn the skills and knowledge to improve their results in one’s own educational setting, Applied Scholastics Spanish Lake has the right service to help.
Overfilled classrooms, underachieving students and “learning disorders” are today all too common. Teachers struggle with classroom management problems while principals ponder the correct levels of discipline to control unruly students.
​
Additionally, many schools are comprised of diverse student populations of varying socioeconomic levels and the obstacles mount on how to address the individual needs of every student.
Parents are concerned about how they can address and help their children overcome the academic problems they are experiencing. Meanwhile, more and more students have become convinced that they just can’t learn certain subjects, and so they give up trying.
​
At the same time, adults worry about holding their jobs as technology outpaces the skills they worked so hard to learn. Such problems have generated libraries full of educational theories. But the problems persist.
There is a precise and exact science and technology of study, which when applied gives one the duplication and understanding of the materials being studied and most importantly, the ability to apply what one is studying in life.
The solution for effective education is found in
Study Technology.
EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR EDUCATION
Results
The test of any methodology or technology is whether it gets results. In our fast-paced society of continual progress and new achievement, the demand for educational programs that facilitate learning, conceptual understanding and real-world application is greater than ever.
The application of Study Technology in any educational setting and infused within any curriculum consistently shows improvements in student outcomes.
Recognitions and Appreciation
The contributions of Applied Scholastics and L. Ron Hubbard’s Study Technology to the fields of literacy and learning have changed the lives of millions across the globe.
Applied Scholastics receives letters of recognition and endorsements from educators, as well as government officials and community leaders in acknowledgement of both its programs and the power of Study Technology.
Helping students achieve better grades and improve academic performance will always be a priority goal for any educator. Our goal is to provide you the skills and know-how to create and foster independent, lifelong learners who can apply the information they study to help them be successful in all of their future endeavors.
IMPROVING LITERACY & COMPREHENSION
There is no mistaking it—illiteracy and functional illiteracy is a planetwide epidemic. At Applied Scholastics, we believe that anyone can learn anything when they know HOW to learn and HOW to study.
The basic fact is that students fail to learn because no one ever taught them how to learn– that is, how to identify the barriers to learning and how to overcome those barriers.
Our materials provide students with effective tools for handling learning difficulties. This builds a solid foundation for studying and applying any subject—
even those a student may have failed at in the past.
LEARNING HOW TO LEARN
BREAKTHROUGH METHOD
Study Technology is the breakthrough that advances the subject of study and learning for the first time, and it is making a major impact on the educational scene.
Study Technology is an exact learning system that, if taught and used exactly, can achieve unprecedented results in education by helping students to learn how to learn and how to apply what they have learned.
CREATING LIFELONG LEARNERS
With Study Technology, a student's learning difficulties and scholastic problems can be a thing of the past. If a student is doing well, he or she can do even better. Study Technology remains vital for continued learning as one leaves school and faces the challenges of life.
Study Technology is not just another method of study. It allows a person to learn any subject successfully, empowering them to achieve the goals they have set in life for what they want to be and what they want to do.
