Post-Test
Study Tips • Play different types of music for different
subjects
• Read with an accent
• Role play/replace fundamentals with
names of friends and foes
• Reward yourself!
• Teach the lesson
What Would We Do Differently?
Get a stronger commitment from students
Be more specific in the student selection process
Identify the needs of each student based on non-
academic factors
Promote the benefits for participating in the project
What Did We Learn?
Structured homework sessions can really
work
Students need more than an 3
hours a week for homework study
time
Started strong, but ended with
a fizzle
Results were better with
one mastery focus
Can not predict if
student will be
successful
Direct instruction
was not enough
What will we adopt
• Specify the importance of homework
during orientation
• Performance related recognition
• Target levels one through four
• Create a home work resource packet
