I met with them both on Friday and as it was the first meeting, I discussed the aim of the project and the pupils have been given a couple of tasks to do for our next meeting:
- They have been asked to complete an Average Week form. I explained to them that they should tell the truth as there is no benefit in them pretending to use the computer 30 minutes a night or only going out on a Saturday night if this isn't true. The next stage is to use that information to create a realistic study timetable that allows them to combine social time and work time.
- They have also been asked to speak to their respective teachers to get dates for NAB's etc. and to find out what the teacher thinks of their progress so far. I have also asked them to consider what they think they are capable of achieving this year. The next stage is to look at study priorities based on how the pupils are doing and which subjects they enjoy.
- They have also been asked to complete a Strengths and Weaknesses form. The next stage is that together, we can look at opportunities for them to maintain their strengths and work on their weaknesses and identify any potential threats to them achieving good grades this year.
We have agreed to meet again after the October break to discuss progress and start setting targets with the pupils.
Meeting 2 (23 October 2009)
I met with both the pupils today:
- Discussed their progress in each subject and asked them to rank them in order of how much study they do on each and what priority they give each subject. This will enable us to formulate a study plan which ensures they give enough good quality study to each subject.
- Set each pupil 2 subject related targets to discuss with their class teacher.
- Discussed their strengths and weaknesses and any upcoming NABs.
Our target for the next meeting is to use the information collated so far to put together a study timetable.
