what is your system?
When an individual has a system that identifies their strengths and adapts to their weaknesses, they have a greater chance of achieving success. I have developed a flexible system that is continually refined to ensure that individuals thrive.
Priority + System + Consistency + Efficiency + Relentless + Time + Mental Stamina Equals success
As a student, it is essential to create a personalized system that fosters success by aligning your academic, career, and personal aspirations while also ensuring you carve out time for enjoyment.
THERE WILL NORMALLY BE HOMEWORK
because reading, review, and preview are concepts emphasized in this course. This does not mean a substantial amount of time should be given but it does mean that students should be able to connect what they have learned with where they plan on going. Review is simply reviewing any work or concepts we have discussed in class. Preview is preparing for what will be discussed in upcoming classes. These two concepts are intertwined since students have to read. Readings will be given and students will be expected to read and discuss what they have read. There will be some literature assigned that will require a thesaurus and dictionary. The assigned reading may take some tome to complete but sufficient time will be given to complete the assignment. Most importantly students need to learn and master the vocabulary of the course. This is where most of the homework will be geared to. In order to be successful within this or any course they will have to be able to not only know the assigned vocabulary, but apply them correctly.
keys to success
vocabulary
How well does your child know the key terms and vocabulary? Have them show you first hand by going to Quizlet or Brainscape and show their progress or have them use the terms as they explain what they have learned.
communicate
How well can your child discuss the objectives and unit questions?
- What level answer is your child giving (Level 1-4)?
- Review Exit Tickets.
- Ask questions from the Unit Inquiry Arc Guide.
application
Most importantly is your child able to apply the concepts being discussed outside the classroom and in their lives?
- Are they writing, speaking, and critically thinking better?
- Are they making better decisions and able to identify the different perspectives within their lives?
accountability steps
remind
Remind allows me to send updates and reminders to students and parents to help produce success and accountability.
check assignments
Most importantly is your child able to apply the concepts being discussed outside the classroom and in their lives? Typically a two day grace period on late assignments but students will not be allowed to habitually turn in assignments late.
- Check calendar for due dates.
- Review assignments for Level 4 answers
- Limit on late assignments.
