Course Organization

Ask your students to use a copy of an AcademiKit Individual Development Plan to review their AcademiKits. They can do this individually or exchange them with a partner. Have them go through each section and check off the strategies they are currently using. Then ask them to highlight every strategy that they need to incorporate, and brainstorm ideas about how they will attempt to use them. They can write these suggestions in the comments section of the AcademiKit Individual Development Plan. (You can review an AcademiKit Individual Development Plan a list along with the students, and model how you are highlighting areas you could improve and how you could improve them, for example, recording time commitments for each day, and taking five minutes on Sunday night to review commitments and add any new ones.)
