STAYING ON PACE
(Provided by CalPac, Thursday, November 22, 2012)
California Pacific Charter School students are dedicated to reaching a level of academic success – this can be a hard job when attending school virtually! Our online students have to manage their time during the week in a way that includes completing an assignment in every course weekly and logging in daily to complete at least one assignment. Many students do not have someone at home with them to help motivate them to complete their coursework and avoid the many distractions that face them during the day.
Students have prepared their own weekly schedules that incorporate completing work in all courses at specific hours of the day while also scheduling time for family, friends, recreation and even work. The Assignment Calendars in the online courses we provide are a great guide to know what to work on each day in each course. The calendars are color-coded to show a student what they have already completed, as well as what they still need to complete to catch up with the pace of the course.
A weekly calendar outlining all of the tasks needed to be completed should be developed each Monday. Check off boxes can be included next to each task, I love these because it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I can check off items as I complete them. The calendar also has time set aside for live sessions, tutoring sessions and homeroom sessions. It can even have a list of the virtual teachers names and their office hours for easy reference. Set up a weekly calendar today and stay on pace in your courses!
