Using a Student’s Encompassing as a Tool for Academic Success The Jedi Code Using a Student’s Encompassing as a Tool for Academic Success

The Jedi Code A Jedi must exhibit responsibility, self discipline, and public service. Following the Jedi theme: one begins as a Youngling (elementary), to an Initiate (middle school), to a Padawan (junior high), and will eventually reach the rank of Jedi Knight (high school).

Journeys for our Padawan In order for a developing Jedi to reach a new level in their training (Initiate to Padawan) a candidate must complete certain journeys on a weekly basis. Each week the candidate will be given a weekly goal to complete, known as a Journey.

How a Journey Works The candidate will be given an objective each week which corresponds with a journey in the Jedi Code. Objectives are only a week long. If the candidate is successful with an objective the candidate will be given a reward. If the candidate fails to meet an objective the candidate will revisit that objective at a later time. The overall goal of the objectives are for the candidate to meet with more success than failure.

Assessing the Objective through Data Collection Each week the candidate’s participating Jedi Masters will fill out a form assessing the candidate’s performance. Objectives will range from daily data recording to only recording data on specific days.

Breaks During a Journey The candidate may receive one 5 minute “meditation” break each class period, if needed. Meditation consists of the candidate practicing an “exercise in stealth” by attempting not to be noticed in the halls of the Jedi Academy (Holt Junior High School) May get a drink of water No talking
