Understanding your students assignment

Directions

This is the second of four activities you will need to complete for this section. It is important that you complete the activities in the appropriate order. If you have not already completed Activity 1, please do so before beginning this one.

This activity will require the assistance of a school administrator. You will need to ask for assistance pulling student cumulative folders. Please consult with your campus administrator before pulling folders. Discuss with your administrator the procedures and policies regarding cumulative folders.

Retrieve the cumulative folder for each of the three students identified in the first activity. Review each of the folders in-depth. Look for trends and information about the student that could help you understand why the student is challenging. We estimate it will take about thirty minutes per folder to complete your review.

Student names are Hosey, Julian, DJ, Ricky
