If you are an educator that requires effective research skills in regular assignments, then why not set aside the first five days of your class and have students practice these skills exclusively, before you begin your class curriculum?

You can then learn how a small sacrifice of time at the beginning of the year can allow learners to use these skills to take charge of their own education, both in high school and in college.
