Class Content
Learning the “Content Integration” Study Method: Joyce Rickenbrode and Jill Schroeder will explain and offer weekly demonstrations of the Content Integration method, a unique study approach that was instrumental in helping them pass the EPPP and has allowed them to help others pass too.
The Content Integration Method
Is a novel approach to studying that logically integrates content from different domains to help you achieve maximum content mastery.
Using the Content Integration method:
- Helps you learn to identify connections and patterns in the study material that make information “come to life” in a brand-new way
- Increases cognitive flexibility
- Deepens understanding of content – enhances ability to apply the content across multiple domains and recognize domain relationships
- Allows you to progress with ease from memorizing content to mastering it by linking concepts
- Helps you feel more confident about your readiness to answer questions successfully when re-taking the EPPP.
