In Writing to Learn classes, the student is instructed on the assignment sheet to take work to the Editor for review at regular intervals. The Parent Editor commits to:
- Checking emails regularly. This is how I communicate with parents and students about issues on homework, notifications to check grades, assignment corrections and clarifications, and many other issues.
- Reading the pages assigned in the handbook so they know what their students are working on. Parents can’t help if they don’t know what we’re doing.
- Keeping the student on track with the 9-day writing schedule. Procrastination is a death sentence for writing success.
- Working with the student to the extent necessary to complete the assignments.
- Reviewing and helping the student correct missing or incorrect items on the current assignment.
- Assuring that the completed homework is turned in on class day.
- Reviewing grades and comments on returned assignments so they can know what the student needs to correct on the next assignment.
