詳細: Part A: Organic Research

Students' homework assignments will consist of continuing their classwork and researching more about their interests, strengths, and needs. Homework should be organic. This means that students should be encouraged to complete organic research to incentivize them with monitoring their personal goals. 

Part B: Home Conversations

The parents/caregivers of students should spend about 5 minutes each day asking students about their personal goals and how they are monitoring their success. Talking with your students about their personal goals supports their development as young adults.
