FOR MORE ON IMPROVING SKILLS & GAINING CREDITS:

HOW TO ORGANIZE FOR CREDITS:
-
Decide with your student which credits might be appropriate for them.
-
Divide the needed hours by 9 months.
-
As students work, track the activity, hours spent, and rubrics in Records chart (Daily Lesson Plan).
-
After 2 months, total subject hours, then reevaluate together which subjects might reasonably have enough hours by end of year for credit.
-
Continue accumulating projects and hours within these subjects.
-
At the end of the year, your student may have earned partial-full credit for multiple subjects!
