Word of the Week....Revising Checkpoints and Teacher FeedbackAs students complete checkpoints within their projects in Connect, teachers are constantly giving real-time feedback in the form of questions, comments, and referring to the cognitive skills rubric. Feedback given on projects is based on the rubric and is meant to help students grown to the next level on a specific cognitive skill. If a checkpoint is given red or yellow feedback, students should make revisions to that feedback as soon as possible and resubmit it for teacher's approval. If students are struggling with revising a checkpoint, they may seek the assistance of a peer or attend tutorials with their teachers to receive guidance. How can I tell how my student is doing in Connect? Asking your child specific questions will give you the best idea of how they are doing.
Also, please make sure that your child's mentor has access to a current and valid email address. You receive a weekly update on your child's progress.
