Conquering the SAT
Why do we take the SAT and what does it tell us? By better understanding the context and content of the SAT, students and parents can create a more relaxed and informed approach to taking the test.
Good-Value Colleges
You've heard of Harvard and Stanford, but what about Berea College, which is free? We reveal lesser-known schools that students and families might want to consider.
College & Career Panel
How do you choose the right school for you? TORO Learning tutors and staff, graduates of top-notch colleges, share best practices for choosing the right school, engaging in meaningful activities, and pursuing a career.
Intrinsic Value of Learning
Why do we emphasize grades and scores as a measure of learning? If students are invested in the process of learning, rather than the end product, then improved outcomes naturally follow.
Becoming a Better Student
What does it mean to be a good student? We discuss what it means to be a good student, and how to cultivate healthy study skills and organizational strategies that will serve students in school and in life. We also identify strategies parents can use the support their children in this process.
Standards and Standardization
We live in the age of Common Core, standardized testing, and standards- based reform. While there are some positives to the standards movement, there are also many drawbacks. We discuss the pros and cons of standardization, what policies support it, and what it means for students.
Education in the Digital Age
How will modern advances change the way we learn? Technology and the internet are already affecting the landscape of education. We discuss the ways these tools will change the way we learn and the way we teach.
