INTRODUCTION:

1.  THE NAME GAME        (20 min)  

a.   Have students write their first and last name on index cards.

b.    Collect cards and pass them out to different individuals.

c.     Have students look for the person using the question “What’s your name?”

d.    Once the person is found, write introduction questions they can practice. (i.e. What’s your child’s name?  What’s school does he/she go to?)  Make sure they write the answers on the card.

 

2.        Explain the importance of understanding “needs” and tell the students that today’s topics are: reviewing CBET needs assessment, child’s study habit needs, and parent’s need for contact list.

 

NEEDS ASSESSMENT: (25 min)

1.  PAIR WORK                                   Pass the needs assessments back and have the students work in pairs, sharing their responses.

2.     CLASS DISCUSSION                    As a class, discuss the responses.

 

STUDY HABIT NEEDS: (25 min)

1.  HABITS                            Review the following habits needs, showing the reasons they are good habits.

 

·         Provide a study place that can accommodate good study environment.

·         Make sure there is easy access to necessary supplies.

·         Create a set study time.

Teach time management by making schedules.

·         Review homework.  Do not do it for the child.  Check homework after it is completed.

·         Help study for tests, by asking questions and reviewing material.

Review schoolwork and daily activities.  Ask “How was school?”

 

2.     GROUP WORK              In groups of three, have the students apply the study habit needs to their child’s situation.

 

COMPREHENSION CHECK: (10 min)           

Ask students simple question about the study habit needs.  (i.e. What are good study places? Necessary supplies?)

 

CONTACT LIST:                Explain the importance of building a support network.  Give the students an

(5 min)                                    opportunity to ask other students for their name and telephone number.

                                                Note: make students aware that they are not required to give out their telephone number.

 

TEACHER VISIT UPDATE: (15 min)              

Ask the students about the results of their visit with their child’s teacher.  If by chance the visit wasn’t done, review questions to ask teachers. (For example: What is my child good at?  What does my child need to work on?  What are three things I can do to help my child?)

 

CBET BINDER:   (20 min)                 

Provide students with binders to keep class material (i.e. handouts, pledge forms, etc.).
