The SLANT Technique for Students


As a student, you might not yet have realized that the right attitude can help to get you where you want to go. Showing your intent to learn and having a good attitude is the easiest way to persuade teachers to go out of their way to help you when you are struggling. These simple steps can help you show your teachers your intent to learn, even in the hardest subjects. 

Sit up
Lean forward
Ask questions
Nod your head
Talk to your teacher


It might seem like these things would not be enough to make a difference. But if you apply yourself to SLANT, your teachers will recognize and appreciate the change. And if you continue to practice these steps, over time they will begin to be second nature to you.
