Why Are We Teaching Organization and Homework Strategies?
Learning to plan effectively enhances students’ ability to make sense of their world and experience.
(Dewey, 1980; Gardner, 1983; Marzano, 2003; Vygotsky, 1978)
Students who complete and turn in homework do better in school.
(Cooper, Lindsay, Nye & Greathouse,1998)
Students who are exposed to variety of study strategies are higher achievers.
(Meneghetti, De Beni & Cornoldi, 2007)

Limitations and Lessons Learned
Future lessons will not be scheduled on minimum day.
Revisions on assessment are needed (wording confusing for some students).
Although engagement and altitudes are high, curriculum needs connect to assessment.

• Consult with stakeholders to link attitudes and skills learned and link them to GPA
• We are planning to continue implementing a part 2 focused on test taking.
• We will report on the long term impacts of guidance curriculum on the achievement.
