Understanding the EOC

2

Proficiency on the EOC is 65%. This is a goal we can achieve.

65%

Breaking down the EOC

We need to build stamina so that students can focus and work hard the whole time.

60 Questions

All test items are multiple choice. There are no free response questions.

Test Format

Develop test-taking stamina to make it through 60 questions just like this one

Stamina

Our Strategy

Obviously, you have to know the content to answer the question

Content

Develop the content and Tier II vocabulary needed to answer the question

Vocabulary

Arrive on time and ready to work Come with specific questions I tutor Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00-4:30. Every session will have a task and a reward. You do not need an appointment. I am available to schedule additional tutoring times to better meet your needs., including during lunch.

Getting the most from tutoring

I TAKE LATE WORK!

I ONLY REVIEW LATE WORK DURING LUNCH (1:00-1:30).

Students aren’t using their class time wisely.

Working Diligently

Top Classroom Challenges

Students struggle to choose appropriate seats. They often sit with others who will get them off track and refuse to move when asked.

Seating

Keep up with class updates using Remind, Powerschool, and Google Classroom

Keep in touch

How you can help

Please buy 3x5 ruled index cards for our class and send them in with your student.

Send index cards

Ask your student to review their flashcards and foldables every day for 20 minutes

20 minutes

***Please help your child arrive on time to class and stay in class the entire time*** Tuesday October 1: DNA Unit Test (THEY HAVE A STUDY GUIDE!) Monday October 7: Midterm Benchmark (USE STUDY GUIDES!) These are the items that your students should be working diligently on right now. When they say they have nothing to do, ask them to get out flashcards and study guides.
