An organized student stays current on assignments and will achieve success in school. Agenda books help students develop sound organization skills that will teach them a successful lifelong journey through school.
My son used to have an extremely hard time keeping his homework assignments organized and turning them in on time. We have found that an agenda book that is kept in his binder helps tremendously.
His agenda book consists of the following:
1. calendar
2. daily assignment log for each subject for homework, projects or assignments, etc.
3. date due for assignment(s)
4. space for teachers and parents to communicate
5. teacher signature space for each subject
6. parent signature space on bottom of page
*When my son was in middle school the teachers would at the end of class check each and every student’s agenda book to see if they had written correctly their assignment(s). The teacher would initial it (or use a stamp) to confirm that it was correct. I thought this was a fantastic idea and it also made sure that the students had their assignments written down correctly and they would know when to turn them in on time. Parents also had to sign the agenda book daily to verify that they had read the above and understood what their child was supposed to do.
*If your school does not do agenda books, you could add it to your child’s IEP. The IEP Team will more likely add this if the parents provide the agenda book and it is made into goals and objectives that the student has the responsibility to obtain their teacher’s signature on their agenda book to confirm it was done correctly.
Annual Goal: Student will write assignments in his agenda book.
Objectives: Given direct instruction/teaching, examples, demonstration/modeling, and practice in writing down assignment(s) in his agenda book that are presented in written form on the classroom chalk board, Student will write assignments in his agenda book in the proper place daily with 80% accuracy, given prompts (5 second wait) and praise that is gradually decreasing.
One month objective: 80% consistency, verbal prompts (example: write in your agenda book, what is your homework for tonight, etc.)
Six month objective: 80% consistency, manual signs/gestures or visual cues.
Full year objective: 80% consistency, independent performance/initiation.
