Academic Support Systems

Our classroom is set up as a workshop environment, which ensures that students have adequate time to complete assignments during class time and receive support in a small group or one-on-one.  It is imperative that students stay on-task, use their time in class to work on assignments, and read while they have a conducive environment with teacher support.  Struggle is an inevitable part of the true learning process; students are encouraged to learn into productive struggle that will result in learning.  Class work time is the first line of support when students are struggling.

 

 

I offer daily tutorials from 7:10 to 7:40 A.M. Tuesday through Friday, as well as 3:30 to 4:00 P.M. Monday through Thursday.  When students miss any class time, no matter the reason, they are encouraged to attend tutorials in order to make up that gap.  Students are encouraged to come in to get assistance on assignments, receive missed direct instruction, get one-on-one support with a problem area, or find a quiet place they can work.

 

 

Moody High School attempts to provide students with every opportunity and support needed to be successful in school and to learn valuable skills used in future college and career endeavors.  The ZAP program (Zeros Aren't Permitted) provides students an opportunity to make-up missing assignments after school.  Taking advantage of this program will allow students to keep up with coursework and not develop gaps in skills.

 

When:  Monday through Wednesday from 3:40 to 4:30

Where:  Mrs. Walker's Classroom (Room 101)

What:   Bring missing assignment(s) and necessary materials to complete the work.  Have your independent reading book with you in case you finish your work early.

 

 

When all else fails, students need to seek assistance on hitting the reset button.  Students should enlist adult assistance in establishing a plan to caught up and stay accountable.  This will also require extra time and effort to overcome whatever the weakness is.
