SEARCH stands for Students Engaged in Active Research and Critical Thinking Habits.

SLURP Strategy 

"Stand, Listen, Understand, Reflect, Practice" is a good acronym to remember when engaging in active communication and learning. Each step builds on the previous one, creating a process for more effective communication and deeper understanding.

• "Stand" refers to physically positioning oneself in a way that communicates openness and attentiveness to the speaker.
• "Listen" means actively focusing on what the speaker is saying, giving them your full attention and trying to understand their message.
• "Understand" involves processing the information that the speaker has shared, making sure you have a clear understanding of their perspective and message.
• "Reflect" means taking time to think about what you've heard, analyzing it from your own perspective, and considering how it relates to your own experiences and beliefs.
• "Practice" means actively applying what you've learned or discussed, whether it be through taking action, changing behavior, or continuing to reflect on the topic.

By following these steps, you can improve your communication skills, build stronger relationships, and deepen your understanding of the world around you.
