To be self-determined, students need to have the ability to learn new knowledge and skills that will help them achieve what they want to obtain. The Strategic Learning Assessment was developed my Mike Ealy, Dr. Katie Brendli-Brown and 2BSD founder Dr. Sharon Field to assess student learning skills in eleven areas: Communication, Critical Thinking, Effective Learning Strategies, Focus and Concentration, Growth Mindset, Persistence, Seeking Help, Sense of Belonging, Stress Management, Test Preparation and Time Management. Students receive detailed feedback that includes a clear explanation of their scores and suggestions for actions they can take to improve in each area. Two separate versions of the SLA available for college and high school students.
