Today's Portrait of a Graduate skill
Goal-directed and resilient

Goal-Directed and Resilient Individual:

  • I understand my areas of academic and personal strength as well as challenges, and I use that knowledge to achieve goals by employing appropriate strategies.

Grade check-up lesson objective

  • Monitor academic progress and set goals.
  • Check FCPS gmail account to make note of important information sent by email.

Students:

  1. Go to your Advisory folder in your google drive and open Semester 2: Grade Check Up

  2. In another tab or on your phone, open StudentVUE.

  3.  Record your current grades.

  4. Check your FCPS email - make note of any important due dates or announcements 

  5. Take a moment to reflect:

    1. Are you doing as well in every class as you want to be?

  6. If you have even one class that you'd like to make improvements, make a commitment to improve that grade.
    1. Examples could be:

      • See my teacher on a specific date to get extra help.

      • Work with a friend during Lancer Time who is in the same class as me.

      • Make up specific missing assignments

      • Retake a test

  7. If you are not sure what you should do, ask a class mate or your advisory teacher for help with ideas. Use the remainder of time to actively work on your improvement plan.

    • You could email your teacher to set up a tutoring session.

    • Print out missing assignments.

    • Finish missing homework.

    • Study for an upcoming test.

  8. If you have a 100% in all of your classes, your plan might be to continue doing what you do! Good job!

Teachers:

  1. If needed, help students locate the Grade Check Up doc in Google drive and log in to StudentVUE.

  2. Circulate and give them suggestions for how to improve their grades in certain classes.

  3. Encourage them to connect with their teachers (maybe by emailing them at the time) and set up a plan for improvement.

  4. If students are missing a lot of work, help them create a manageable calendar and plan to make some of it up.

  5. Do all of the good teachery stuff you do every day!
