Plan a weekly schedule for college courses
When to use this goal
For students preparing for a college or training schedule with large unscheduled blocks, who have only had the structured high school day. Present levels in time management decide whether the plan is built on paper or in a calendar app.
- Baseline
- Score the first plan with the grid only. Plans with no study blocks or with every hour filled are both common and show what to teach.
- Tips
- Use real course schedules from a local college. Ask the student to follow the plan for a week and report what worked; adjusting it is part of the skill.
- Limits
- A plan on paper is not a week lived. The rubric does not judge whether study time was used.
