The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is the federal K-12 education law of the United States. ESSA was signed into law in 2015 and replaced the previous education law called “No Child Left Behind.” ESSA extended more flexibility to States in education and laid out expectations of transparency for parents and for communities.
ESSA requires every state to measure performance in reading, math, and science. Each state determines the way students are assessed. Every school in each state must inform parents about their standards and their child's results.
ESSA requires every state to develop a concise and easily understandable “State Report Card” that is accessible online and provides parents important information on test performance in reading, math, and science. The report cards must also provide data on graduation rates, suspensions, absenteeism, teacher qualifications, and many other areas.
This Study Skills class is designed for all high school students who want to learn how to better plan, manage, organize, and complete their work. At the outset, the students will explore the provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, as it relates to school accountability, teacher accountability, and student accountability. Students will begin to understand that as they progress in school, homework assignments become tougher and workloads become bigger. However, through the Study Skills class, students will learn to take on these challenges with confidence and ease. Skills include effective time management, organization, planning, actively studying, and note-taking. Ultimately, the students will learn to become independent and effective students who strategically achieve their academic learning goals and build great habits that can last a lifetime. The class covers the following skill sets:
1. Study Strategies - (music or no music...turn off and store the cellphone...no talking...make mental pictures)
2. Organizational Habits - When are my due dates? Check my calendar. Prioritize....
3. Note-Taking - Write down notes in all classes. Study the notes.
4. Active Reading - Read everyday.
5. Setting Goals - What are my goals in every class? Create an action plan to achieve these goals.
6. Test Taking Strategies - Study the exam guide. Study notes. Ask the teacher for advice. Do not consume sweets or sugary drinks the day before an exam. Go to sleep before 10:00 PM the night prior to an exam. Study the morning of the exam.
7. Real World Life Skills - Some people will argue that 80 percent of success in life is attributed to just showing up (Come to school every day and on time).
Others will argue that 80 percent of success in life is psychological (Believing in yourself).
Question: What percent of success in life is behavioral (actually doing the work)?
