Explain the purpose: This journal will help students track their study habits, reflect on their learning process, and develop resilience when encountering difficult concepts.
Set clear expectations: Students will complete journal entries each week and submit them at the end of the month. The study journal will be a component of their overall grade.
Use Albert’s Data: Show students how to analyze their performance on Albert’s practice questions, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
Each week, students document key concepts, difficult questions, resources used, and reflections on their strategies.
At the end of a set period—whether monthly, biweekly, or another timeline that fits your class—students submit their completed journals for grading. Teachers provide feedback on effort, reflection, and progress.
Use Albert’s Reports to guide feedback and suggest targeted practice to help students improve.
As testing season draws near, have students self-select into study groups. Students aiming for higher scores will have more weekly assigned problems and reflection activities.
Teachers can create targeted Albert assignments to match each group’s needs.
Alternatively, teachers can enable Independent Practice, empowering students to take ownership of their targeted practice.
