​One-On-One Reviews

​

Description 

This portion of the clinic is designed for students in need of more accountability and motivation in order to meet their academic goals. 

​

Goals

 - To provide deadlines and achievement standards which will challenge the  students and tap into their God-given reserves of energy, adventure and significant work and service to others.

 - To train the students to become productive in order to provide for their own needs and others. This may include a requirement for students to pay their own way in tuition and fees, at least for certain specific projects.

 - To provide peer mentoring in specific goals and related projects; especially maintaining goals that are common to God's goals for man in family and community as His servants and ambassadors.

 - Increase accountability using the WCFS QSU Log student achievement recording system.

​​

Format

Individual students will meet with staff to trouble shoot and resolve academic problems.

QSU™ logs will be checked for goal completions and parent signatures.

​​

Goals

To provide an outlet for physical activity, skill building, and teamwork.

Students who are waiting for or finished with their one-on-one reviews will complete assigned tasks to the satisfaction of their supervisor.
