Student Success Class
Teens Act class time is divided between
1- The instructional portion of the class teaches Student Success leadership and personal development skills: Achievement, Character, Tenacity, Resiliency, Self-discipline, Goal setting, Time management, Mindset, Leadership, Awareness of talents and interests, Resume writing, Job interview strategies, Interview - practice, and Career exploration. Education provides students with the knowledge and skills to make choices that will lead to improved life experiences and when necessary ameliorate the negative impact of some of life's experiences.
2 - The homework, credit recovery, original credit portion of class gives students an opportunity to catch up on homework, do credit recovery and on occasion original credit for other classes, prepare for ACT and other assessments. Getting behind on homework severely impacts a student’s grades and academic performance, so we provide students with an opportunity to focus on homework in class and also receive help from mentors to do their school work to be successful in high school and prepare for higher education. We are fortunate to have a partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Utah County (BGCU). Through this partnership particularly at Provo High we focus on STEM subject improvement. Many students need assistance with.STEM subjects and as they improve in these areas they are better equipped to prepare for STEM careers.
Personal mentoring-tutoring provided during both portions of the class give students help when they need it. We strive to maintain a 5:1 ratio of students to mentors so that there is ample opportunity for students to ask questions and receive help in their schooling. Our mentors are trained to proactively engage with students to help them understand their assignments and how to benefit from their education.
Mentors also provide accountability opportunities by reviewing students goals and grades with them on a weekly basis. Mentors help students to implement SMART Goals in their everyday life. A SMART Goal is a goal that is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
To teach and strengthen organizational skills each student creates a folder where they keep their academic work and includes their goals and scheduling.
In addition to our Student Success Class the school also asks us to provide mentoring and tutoring in other classes and programs throughout the school day.
