The +10 Mindset - Response to Assessment
Now that the 1st 6 Weeks Assessment is over, it is time to respond to the data.  In your child's class, your student will gauge their performance and growth by completing an Excellence Goal Sheet (copy for you to print and use with your child).  Teachers will analyze the results to identify weak skills and students who need additional support through guided learning during class time or additional tutorials during enrichment, advisory, or Tiger Time (BRES).

Have you heard of Kagan Structures? It is strategy teachers
are using to get students collaborating and learning the
content from one another.

When you review the Formative Assessment results with your child, here are few questions to help your child reflect?

• Where do you feel that you did well?
• What was difficult for you on the test?
• What strategies did you use, and what strategies do you need to use next time?
• What questions will you ask your teacher so you can continue to improve?
• How can I help you reach your +10 Goal or your Growth Goal?

These questions will encourage your child to try harder next time, to approach their teacher for help, and to reflect and make a game plan for the 2nd 6 weeks.

Keep Going! Student Motivation
