APPROACHES TO LEARNING<br />

THE FIVE SKILL CATEGORIES<br />

APPROACHES TO LEARNING (ATL)<br />

Skills are sets of strategies and techniques that people use to achieve a specific purpose. Through ATL you will develop<br />

important in all aspects of your life:<br />

• in education<br />

• in the workplace<br />

• in the community<br />

Regularly revisiting these skill categories and reflecting on your progress in developing each of them will assist you in<br />

achieving what you want from your education and life; twice each term is suggested. Use the scale.<br />
