• • Set Expectations. Sit down with your student and go through their courses. Students should:

    • work on 3-6 courses at a time

    • spend about 4-6 hours a day in their classes

    • complete 3-5 assignments a week (depending on the grade level and the specific course) and 12-20 assignments per month

  • Set a timeline

    • When should they be done with their classes?

  • Check-in weekly with their progress. Where should they be? Where are they at? 

    • If they are doing well you can adjust your check-ins to bi-weekly.

    • If they are not doing well adjust it to daily check-ins.

    • Consistently review the expectations you set with your student about their courses

  • Discuss with your student what works best for their learning style and reinforce expectations:

    • What resources may be needed to help them in their school work like reaching out to their instructors, a tutor, or Math help? 

    • What time is day do they prefer to learn? 

    • Where is the best place for them to set up a study area in your home?

Create a space just for learning! 

By designating a specific spot in your home for students learning, students can separate their school and home lives.  Here are some of the best places to set up a learning space:

• Extra room

• Kitchen

• Dining room

• In a room with you

It is usually best to have a student learn somewhere besides their bedroom because there are fewer distractions while the student works.
