While the Student Section of the Learning Toolbox is designed for independent use by secondary students with learning difficulties, middle school students may find the information too difficult to apply independently. Middle school students will benefit most when directly taught strategies by a teacher. While many secondary students may be able to apply the strategies on their own, others may also need teacher instruction. The Teacher Section of the Learning Toolbox provides both middle school and secondary level teachers a model for effectively teaching learning strategies to their students in specific content oriented courses.
