tips to keeping your student on pace
Making sure your student stays on pace in their courses will help keep them on track for succeeding in the course. It will prevent them from getting overwhelmed and having to play catch up to complete the course last minute. Below are some tips to help your student manage their time and stay on pace in their courses.
Work with your student to create a daily schedule. Set the times your student will work on each course.
Check your student’s courses daily and review their gradebooks.
Talk to your student daily about their tasks for each course.
Start each morning talking with your student about their assignments for the day. Have their Study Planner / To Do List open as you talk with them about what they need to complete by the end of their day.
* Explain the importance of staying on pace, reminding them that their workload will increase if they are off pace.
* Remind them that they are in control of their tasks and the importance of personal responsibility.
* Discuss with your student what they completed at the end of each day.

Helping Your Student Get Back on Pace
Helping Your Student Get Back on Pace
What do you do if your student gets behind pace in a course? Here are some tips to help your student get back on track.
-> Make a goal with your student to get caught up in one week. Sit down with your student and pull up their Study Planner / To-Do List in the course(s) they are behind pace. Count how many items they are past due on, and how many things they have to do during the week to stay current. Divide the total by 5 (because there are five days in a week). The answer is the number of activities/assignments they must complete each day to be caught up in a week. Get out five post-it notes or note cards and label each one with a day of the week. For each day of the week, list the assignments, the student must complete that day. Post the cards or post-it notes in a visible spot at your student’s work station.
-> If your student is behind pace in more than one course, make a goal to get caught up one course at a time focusing on one week at a time or to get caught up in all courses at once, depending on how far behind they are.
-> Discuss with your student a list of consequences for when they get behind in a course, for example, loss of free tech time, television time, phone, etc. Enforce the rules and give out the consequence. Remind them that they will get their privileges back when they are back on pace in their course.
-> Check-in with your student multiple times during the day to make sure they are staying on task and focusing on getting caught up.
