Extra Help

(Please see your teachers for details on extra help sessions)

All teachers offer extra help. Whether you are struggling in a class or just finding the current unit or topic confusing, extra help is a great way to clarify what you do not understand in a class. Many students do not know what to do when they arrive at an extra help session. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of extra help!

• Going to extra help and saying “I don’t get it” does not work. Make sure you bring specific examples of what you’re finding difficult or confusing. Write down a list of questions you have to bring to extra help.

• Bring your latest test or quiz and ask the teacher to explain any question(s) that were marked wrong that you are not able to correct on your own.

• When doing HW, answer all questions and circle any that you found confusing. Ask the teacher to clarify the question/answer.

• If something is confusing but the class has moved on to the next activity, make a note of what you find confusing or circle it to ask the teacher about it at extra help.

• If you were absent for a class lesson, utilize extra help for reteaching what you missed or to make up the worksheets that were completed in class.
