We often expect students to study without really teaching
them HOW. Just re-reading the material doesn’t usually help and creates a cycle
of frustration. Victus means “way of life” in Latin, and this unique system has
helped thousands of students learn effective, lifelong habits. These include organization
and time management, motivation and goal setting, note taking and test taking,
reading with better comprehension, and more. Students at every level of the
program answer these foundational questions, which can be applied to every area
of life: Where am I now? Where do I want to be? How do I get there? Encouraged
to use their strengths, students develop age-appropriate goals and priorities, outlining
a measurable plan with clear steps to get there!
The essential Core Teacher Edition provides the course
framework for every level of the Victus Study Skills System program. The Teacher Supplement booklet
is also required for the Primary and Elementary levels, helping tailor the
course for younger students. Teacher resources include a free, downloadable PowerPoint
presentation link for visual reinforcement of lessons.
To practice skills, each student needs their own Student
Workbook, available in four levels. Course can be taught in five, one-hour
lessons and immediately integrated and reinforced in all subjects, or at your
own pace.
The optional Student Planner, with a year's worth of blank monthly and weekly calendars to fill in, also guides you (step by step) to prioritize daily tasks and accomplish goals.
