The Student Success Path – Teacher Guide
The Agenda/Planner
Objectives:
To support time-management skills
To build self‐advocacy
To increase a student’s responsibility
To increase involvement in school activities
To increase home/school communication
To increase a student’s organizational ability
Expectations:
Agendas/planners are filled out at the end of each class/subject and at the end of the day.
“No homework” is written if no homework is given.
Color‐coding and other visual reminders are encouraged to manage various academic responsibilities, e.g.,
homework, quizzes, tests, projects, extracurricular activities, community service, and work.
Self‐monitoring is evidenced by a student’s check or signature placed after completing each academic task.
Daily family signatures, teacher signatures, or behavioral comments are all optional components and are
especially valuable strategies to support students who are struggling with organizational skills.
Students move toward greater independence and management of organizational agendas/planners.
Students track ongoing projects and break them into manageable tasks.
What to include:
Backwards mapping of upcoming projects (See “Backwards Mapping Template.”)
To do lists, both in and outside of school
Personal reminders for items outside of school
Extracurricular activities or schedules (sports, student council, community service, etc.)
Recording of weekly goals and self‐monitoring progress
Schoolwide events (dances, pep rallies, college fairs, etc.)
Birthdays, anniversaries, and school holidays
