“Study Skills Marathon” Workshop to be Held - February 19, 2008
Janie Pellish, Coordinator of Tutorial Services at Berkshire Community College, will be presenting a workshop entitled “Study Skills Marathon: The Race Toward Recruitment and Retention” at the 32nd annual conference of the National Association of Developmental Education in Boston on Thurs., February 28. The theme of this year’s conference is “Developmental Education: The New Revolution.”
The Study Skills Marathon, held annually at BCC since the fall 2000 semester, is modeled after a marathon where participants “run” through a series of study skills booths to learn study strategies for academic success. The Marathon “runners” include BCC students, high school students from the public and private high schools throughout Berkshire County, parents, and educators. The reward for completing the Marathon “course” is information on various study skills, lunch, and a water bottle. Last year 350 individuals “ran” in the Marathon.
In February 2002, the concept of the Study Skills Marathon was described in an article entitled “The Study Skills Marathon Fair” written by Janie Pellish and published in “Innovation Abstracts” by the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development. This article was recently reprinted in an issue of “Innovation Abstracts” showcasing some popular contributions to professional development and the improvement of teaching and learning. For more information about the Marathon, call 236-1651. |
