When any student (youth or adult) enters the classroom, they need to ensure that they are prepared. This is, in fact, one of the first things a teacher looks for when students are filing into the classroom, and is directly correlated to student success. After all, how can you be successful at something when you’re not prepared??
Top 3 items a student needs to bring to class:
1) Agenda – this is where they will actually COMMIT to writing down their homework, points to remember and assignment ideas when they are mentioned in class. If a student just listens to what the teacher is saying but does not bring his/her agenda and write it down, the chances of them forgetting what was said 10 minutes later increases exponentially.
2) Class materials – this could include anything from the course textbook, papers to write notes down on, and supplies to highlight and write important ideas.
3) Thinking cap – being focused in class on the subject at hand (instead of wondering whom they’re going to ask to sign their yearbook or worrying about having plans for the weekend) is so important. If a student is not focused and is not thinking about the subject matter at hand, they aren’t ready and they are not going to be nearly as effective in the classroom.
If a student can remember to bring these three vitally important items for every class, they are already ahead of the game!
Happy Learning!
