Time Management“Time Is On My Side”

Presented By: Caroline Keel

Foundation

PhilosophyI believe being able to successfully manage

time helps students achieve goals not only within themselves, but also goals and standards schools have set for these students.“The achievement of these students in school implies that these homework management strategies may have the potential to help students become more effective learners in general, not just help them complete homework assignments responsibly (Xu, J. 2009).”

Students who were able to manage their time well achieved both social and academic success. (Witkow, M.R. 2009).

A study done by Duckworth and Seligman on eighth grades students and their IQ’s versus their self-discipline to study; founded that students who took the time to study faired better over the course of the school year than the students who initially had higher IQ’s (2004).

Data!Pre/Post Test

This data will show if students began turning in assignments in on time, going to classes on time, and organize their time more effectively from the first class discussion. Attendance RecordsSpreadsheetsGrades

Professional School Counselor and Teachers will review grades and see which student's need improvement on schoolwork based on lack of time management skills.

Closing the GAPThe data is not only going to be used to help

find individual students who need more assistance with time management skills but also help the professional school counselor improve the lesson plan.

Accountability

Results ReportAfter reviewing the data there will be eight

students that will meet together with the professional school counselor for thirty to forty-five minutes during their lunch hour every other week. These students will learn several major aspects of time management. The students will also meet with the professional school counselor individually every week to set their personal goals.
