Needs Work

Lighting

I have discussed with my child what level of lighting he/she likes best and have made that level available.

I provide what lighting I think is best for my child and have not asked him/her what he/she prefers.

I have not considered lighting to be important to my child's learning space.

Noise Level

I provide either lyric free sounds or no noise. My child has limited distractions during study time.

I have eliminated most distractions. Extra noise is occasinally present and distracting.

I have not taken steps to remove noisy distractions.

Available supplies

I have extra supplies ready at hand. Basic supplies(pencils, paper, erasers) and additional supplies(crayons, ruler, scissors) are both available.

I keep basic supplies in the study area, but homework requiring more creates down time in searching for those supplies needed.

I have to search for supplies anytime they are needed. This down time leaves my child off track.

Parental Support

I am always available and nearby during set study time incase help is needed. I check mychild's work for completeness and errors.

I check whether homework is done and make sure time is allowed for homework.

I sometimes check with my child for homework. I am rarely free to help with assignments.

Understanding Challenges

I know which subjects are hard and easy for my child. I help with hard subjects and encourage extended thinking in easy subjects.

I know which subjects are hard. We work extra in those areas and only deal briefly with easier subjects.

I know which subjects are challenging and which subjects need challenges, but I am unable to provide support in either.
