  1. Hey high school students.
  2. My name is Miss Connor and I'm gonna talk to
  3. you a little bit about how you can use your
  4. academic advisory.
  5. Either to strengthen math and reading skills or to get
  6. tutoring support from our new program called paper tutoring.
  7. If you're seeing this video that means you got your
  8. new academic advisory teacher, you found their classroom and you
  9. were able to get onto their google classroom page to
  10. access this video.
  11. You should have received a small bag with new earbuds
  12. in it and your my path username and password.
  13. This needs to stay in the academic advisory classroom at
  14. all times.
  15. So we don't need to take our earbuds out.
  16. We don't need to take those to other classrooms, lets
  17. other students borrow them.
  18. They might get lost or stolen and I can't replace
  19. them if you're using your own but your own earbuds
  20. totally fine.
  21. Just make sure that these stay in the classroom just
  22. in case something happens and you show up one day
  23. and you need to borrow some.
  24. So before we talk about what you can do an
  25. academic advisory, I did want to visit the data that
  26. we used in order to determine something that's called your
  27. tier placements.
  28. So right now you are demonstrating skill level at or
  29. above your grade level.
  30. So if you're in ninth grade you're demonstrating skill level
  31. at nine or above.
  32. And so we used W.
  33. E. A.
  34. Data in order to play students appropriately in support classes
  35. and based off of your something called a writ score,
  36. it told us that you were in tier one for
  37. math or for reading.
  38. You can also be in tier one for both of
  39. those. So you are in a great spot because you
  40. can use the academic advisory time to continue to progress
  41. if you're 1/9 or 10th grade and you want to
  42. grow stronger on skills, you can continue to do that
  43. even before you ever take the A.
  44. C. T.
  45. Uh We also looked at teacher's feedback report cards and
  46. your parents and your feedback if on skill levels.
  47. So making sure that you have a right mindset.
  48. When you come into academic advisory, I talked to several
  49. students over the past year that felt like they were
  50. missing out on learning or maybe they felt a little
  51. bit behind or wondered if they were um on the
  52. same grade level as they should have been during the
  53. pandemic. And so part of this academic advisory time is
  54. dedicated towards you catching up and feeling more confident.
  55. Um And also expanding on those demonstrated mastery skills.
  56. So everything on my path that is the program that
  57. the yellow card connects with.
  58. Everything on my path is completely individualized for you.
  59. So it's based off of your test scores and what
  60. you demonstrated the day that you took those tests.
  61. If you've been here for several years.
  62. We've looked at all of the tests passed test grades
  63. to see if that is a consistent level.
  64. Um So you're not going to be working on the
  65. same path as your neighbor because everything is individually tailored
  66. for you, which is really cool that you actually have
  67. a space that is academically on level with you and
  68. then to help improve you on any deficits that you
  69. have, this is the my path program.
  70. And so the next little video is going to kind
  71. of show you what to expect when you get into
  72. the my path program.
  73. Anytime you want to grow your brain, anytime that you
  74. want to take a look at calculation or comprehension, you
  75. can log onto my path.
  76. You can also do this during study halls outside of
  77. school hours.
  78. So on the weekends, if there's a break, you growing
  79. yourself is only going to make you more of a
  80. competitive candidate for colleges or for scholarships.
  81. So again, the small bag, we need them to stay
  82. in the academic advisory.
  83. They don't need to go outside of here because we
  84. want you to be set up for success.
  85. If you ever do need to access my path, maybe
  86. you don't need any particular tutoring, maybe you just want
  87. to um to grow your confidence in a certain skill
  88. level and want to hop on my path.
  89. You can do that.
  90. So, good luck with everything.
  91. If you struggle.
  92. If you get stuck on something, just give me an
  93. email, it's J C O and N O R at
  94. T S C S Memphis dot org and I'll help
  95. you out.
  96. Good luck growing your brains.
