Academic Support

While reading any text or primary source documents:

• Encourage questioning/discussion regarding text. Use starters such as; “explain”, “describe”, “summarize”, and “compare” to make your students accountable for what they are reading.
• Highlight main ideas and key vocabulary; as well as important people, places and dates.
• Annotate: Create notes or use post-it notes to document real life connections, past text connections, summaries or questions you still have regarding content.
• If questions accompany text, suggest that students read the questions before reading the text.

While working on math:

• Practice, Practice, Practice! Doing practice problems will help increase your understanding!
• Review your mistakes
• Focus on the concept, not processes.  This will help increase your understanding!
• Use real-world, concrete examples.
• Use technology, like your calculator or Chromebook, to improve the math learning process.

While studying or mastering content:

• Create foldables, flashcards or graphic organizers focusing primarily on new or challenging material.
• Color code study materials.  Highlight content that you feel strongly about in one color and highlight content that you need to review in another color.
• Review new material daily!
• Master new vocabulary words reviewing them, finding synonyms, or using them in sentences.
• Be aware of grades/missing work!
• Check Google Classroom daily
