Late Night Help
This document can be used to aid a student in locating all the places they can utilize for extra help after school and on what days of the week.
Nightly Checklist
This document can be used to guide students through the process of completing nightly homework. It also has a Student Effort Checklist at the bottom so students can be reminded of the 6 components of effective effort and assess their nightly effort. The second page of this document has ideas/suggestions for what students can do when they don’t have any written homework, or if they have a directed study early in the morning.
Weekly After School Schedule Template
We all have a schedule while we are at school; why not have one for after school. By completing this schedule, students have a visual so they know which nights are busier, when they can spend time with friends/family, when they can relax and when they can do homework.
Monthly Calendar Template
This document helps students plan ahead for the month. Print this calendar template and fill in the dates for the month. Students can keep this in the front of a binder or in a plastic sleeve in their binder and pull it out whenever a teacher mentions an upcoming test, quiz or assignment and the due date. Students should then get in the habit of checking this calendar each night when they complete their homework to determine if they should begin preparing for an assessment or if they should begin completing a project. This is great for students who tend to procrastinate or for those students who struggle with planning ahead.
