My colleagues and I are noticing that sometimes multiple students in a family who are really stuggling. How do we respect student autonomy while also realisticfally confronting these trends?

It would be great if admin would block off Academies that are taken for school-wide events: rallies, grade-level meetings, etc. Back in the day, Nick Carpenter would do this on the teachmore website school-wide.

Let's have a refresher on the norms and hot spots for Academy... is the Library still silent study? cafeteria for student collabortion monbitored by admin?

Students appreciate the support from staff during academy! They appreciate having access and opps to ask questions and connect with teachers.

Thorn: Can be difficult when you have a bunch of students who you do not know/have. Sometimes they just want to hang with friends instead of going where they could use help.

Rose: Really nice having two teachers paired up in an academy room to help crowd control and be there for all the students more hands on.

I want to create a group of students who I know have a strong work ethic, the ones who have demonstrated discipline in getting their HW done, but appear to struggle on tests....

matt, you're a huge resource for us and connecting with the tutors

In the Student Union we have 50-60 students during academy and is independent study time. And it is not too crazy! :)

Doing retakes during class time (rather than during Academy) allows me to focus on helping struggling students.

We would like designated time, during staff and team meetings, to take more action on some of our great ideas! Tagging struggling students and peer tutors, shaing the work with colleagues... would love for this action time to built back into our meetings.

Purposefully tagging kiddos who struggle to set up appointments for themselves has been a game changer.

Moving test makeups to other times allows for us to have a space for decompression/ more active intervention without disturbing test takers. Academy allows us to build connections with kids!

A student asked a peer tutor to come to Academy to help with a major research paper. She was an AWESOME help to him.

Tagging specific students who have specific peer tutoring talents (e.g., motivating a kid, working with a kid who has anxiety, super talented at explaining grammar or vocabulary) to work with specific learning types of students

thorn: hard to get ahead of my schedule to tag kids for an upcoming essay or quiz.

thorn: when they bring their friends

rose: test corrections are helping kids get another pass at proficiency

Peer tutoring and tagging in advance has been a game changer!

Even when students are tagged, they may have a different priority. Part of our job is also helping them prioritize and decide how they want to use it

Holding scheduled review sessions before tests is very helpful! Gives students a chance to ask burning questions

# data[].attributes.body
moving retakes out of academy time has helped free up academy time for more direct intervention time

academy is the single best improvement to MHS since I've been here

My academy is a little chaotic sometimes but meets kids' needs!

Rose: Peer Tutors!! They are rock stars!!

Bud: Need to tag more!

We talked about how to help students learn how to use academy productively. Many students aren't going to the teachers they need, or are not doing work during academy and using it as a "break"

# data[].attributes.body
Keeping academy to my current students only has been a positive change from years past

Academy is great for students to have extra time on assessments.

For many, it's more "chill time"

# data[].attributes.body
connect with each student at least once

# data[].attributes.body
Peer tutors have made a night and day difference in productive academies

# data[].attributes.body
We talked about how academy can end up feeling like barely controlled chaos, but then we also chatted about strategies that we each used that could be implemented in other classes too!

Peer tutoring program is key to Academy and student success!!!!
