About the Course:
This course has two components based on individual needs. Some enrolled students will be using this course period to participate with APEX and make progress towards credit recovery. Other students are enrolled in the course for Study Skills purposes to receive additional time and support with individual assignments and/or tasks. It is designed to be an academic support class for each individual to make progress on their particular needs. Attendance is required and grades awarded based on participation. There may be time allotted for students to engage with various activities (ex. helping students develop organizational skills, test-prep, time management, stress relief, self-advocacy etc). Mainly, each student will have the responsibility of using the class structure to complete their individual tasks and needs. I ask that students and parents become familiar with accessing and navigating Aeries and Google Classroom; they are great resources and students will be required to login daily.
Grading:
Grades are based on a Pass/Fail scale on the following criteria:
Engagement/completion of daily activities
Evidence of work completed during class time
Classroom Behavior
Evidence of organization through reminder binder and backpack checks
Student participation during class is essential in order to pass this course. There is also an emphasis on citizenship and work habit grades for this class.
