Assessment 1, Will be THURSDAY 9/26/24
What’s the most accurate predictor of academic achievement?
It’s not socioeconomic status, nor how prestigious the school is that a child attends. The best predictor of student success is the extent to which families encourage learning at home and involve themselves in their child’s education.(National Education Service,2000)
When parents are engaged in their children’s school lives, students have the home support and knowledge they need to not only finish their assignments, but also develop a lifelong love of learning.
My focus this year is to increase parent engagement because research shows the more parents involved in their children’s education, the better their entire class’s motivation, behavior, and grades become.
As parents I know you have extremely busy lives attempting to balance work, family, and your own mental health. Below is easy ways that take less that 15 minutes a day.
Check your scholars assessments and grades bi-weekly in Jupitered if you need login please email me or your students' advisor.
Check your scholars google classroom to see their daily classwork. You can sign into your students account using their school email or password or you can signup for automatic email alerts (daily,weekly , or monthly)
Scheldue a meeting with me at your convience. I am aim to reach out to all parents at least once a month, but my door is always open if you want text,email, or schedule a call. Scheduling a call allows me time to gather any materials that I may need for our meeting (example: student work)
Be a study buddy for your scholar. You can help your scholar build their vocabulary. I prepared digital flash cards for each unit that you can access under the curriculum tab. Check out this article on how to use flash cards with your student
Before an exam, ask your student to fill out a study plan, this holds them accountable to the plan.
Assessments (Tests,Quizzes, Projects, & Lab Reports) 50%
Classwork 40%
Homework (Review Games) 10%
Before a every exam, or quiz I assign a review game and practice test in google classroom.
I teach study skills in class and promote study independence though a the study plan form.
I make easy access remote resources: flash cards and interactive notebooks.
