I help others when I can. I participate well in class discussions. I clean up when I’m finished working. I listen attentively to my teachers when they give directions. I work quietly without disturbing others. I use my time well in class.

11. Independent Learner Self-Evaluation Almost Never Almost Always 12345 I fill out and use my assignment planner on a daily basis. I study with peers. I use Tutorial to catch up on missed work or to get help. I challenge myself to go above and beyond. I do my best effort on a daily basis. I keep my binder organized and neat. I bring supplies (pens, pencils, colored pencils, etc.) to class. I complete AND turn in assignments on time. I turn in make-up work after I’ve been absent.

12. Independent Learner Self-Evaluation Almost Never Almost Always 12345 I take advantage of extra credit when offered. I do my work as neatly as I possibly can. I study for tests at home. I use past work and/or study guides to review for tests. I have a place and time each evening for homework. I am honest when asked if I have homework. If I don’t have homework I review what I did in class to study. I manage my time well at home for doing homework. I feel like I have the study habits/skills to do well in middle school.
