11. 2013-2014 Student Success Each Segment equals 3 weeks Each Segment equals 3 weeks

12. Expectations for Student Success Attendance ~ Attending class everyday Working with the teachers in classroom environment everyday Strong Work Ethic and Self Motivation ~ Individual motivation Staying on task Asking for help when needed Odysseyware Parent Accounts ~ Check in with your student’s progress on a daily basis Verify account with Oware so you have an ability to check in Progress Reports ~ Clearly communicated progress is given 1.5 weeks into each segment for parents to see current progress Relationships~ Support your student as they work through hard material Create a quiet and clean environment that is the “school” at home to be able to work at Help students ask for help when they get stuck or need some guidance

13. Expectations of Work Load Each segment is 3 weeks [appx 15 days]. Just as you would spend 6-7 hours on campus each day, devote the same amount of time to your online course. Online Class Advantage: Your “campus” is where you make it. Study at night, on the road, lunch time, etc. Log in and get to work at any time Online Class Disadvantage: It is easy to get distracted by other people and things. Help students to stay true to themselves and their goals. Help them to stay focused.

14. Time Management and work completion Complete all assignments, including projects, research projects and essays, as assigned Individual student work time on each class can varies slightly based on a few factors: Background with the material Ability to recall information Academic knowledge of subject matter Must log in and work on a daily basis. If too many days go by without logging or completing an assignment, students will get behind and find it very difficult to catch up. Teach/Support students in their use of the student planner to track their work and their time management skills Help them make a “To Do” list to keep them on track

15. 1 Semester in 3 Weeks Time will go by quickly. Once you are behind it is difficult to catch up. Stay on top of lessons. Establish a routine. Know the deadlines Students should take Cornell notes They are a great study tool and can be used on unit tests. They count as part 5% of the grade! Study for the end of unit tests and finals! It counts as 25% of the grade!

16. Set goals and deadlines for students and help them stick to them! Use your student planner and the dates in the O-Ware system to plan out the 3 week term.
