How to Improve your Grades
Struggling in a Class Tips
- Attend class every day. Be attentive and put your phone away. (unless you need it for class)
- Have a consistent dedicated workspace (ideally not your bedroom if possible - if not, then at least get out of your physical bed) Have a space free of distractions and stick with a routine.
- Organize your work and keep track of your assignments. Utilize a weekly calendar or agenda to write down due dates. This can be drawn on a sheet of paper if you do not have a printer or agenda. Schoology already has a personal calendar built in for you! See below for more details.
- Take responsibility and communicate with your teacher. Teachers want to help you! Check your grades weekly.
- Do not just ignore the assignments - they will pile up and feel more and more overwhelming
- Celebrate small wins - focus on what you DID accomplish and understand :)
- It’s always better to be ahead than to be struggling at the last minute! Break down big projects into small, manageable parts—and give each one a deadline. Don’t drag your feet—make yourself do things on time & you’ll be better off in the long run
- Identify someone, who can support you and check in with you regularly - examples include: parent, classmate, sibling, neighbor or another relative
- Consider downloading an app to help you stay organized with due dates for assignments and upcoming tests such as Sigma Planner or My Study Life
- Ask your counselor for resources
