3 Key Elements to a successful AIMS Prep Class
1. Class- scheduling and size 2. Structure-what is taught and how 3. State of mind
Class Scheduling
At CCP we hand schedule every kid All Sophomores take Math Topics Juniors and seniors are scheduled by
need, attitude, character and commitment.
All Math Topics classes are capped in class size. Approximately 20-25.
Structure Remember you cant teach them everything! A scope and
sequence is used to tackle the major strands tested. Familiarity of the test breeds better scores! AIMS style
practice tests/strand tests are used frequently to familiarize. All work assigned is to be completed that day and turned in.
Every assignment is graded and returned the next day so questions or concerns can be answered before moving on.
Incomplete assignments are never accepted! Weekly cumulative quizzes are given every Friday and
reviewed as a class the next day. AIMS/multiple choice test taking skill are constantly shown
and taught.
Structure Your Class
What are your expectations for students?
What are you grading procedures and practices?
How and when are you going to provide feedback?
How and when are you going to provide AIMS like testing practice?
State of mind
You are teaching them more than how to pass a test.
Build a community with the class, express that all students can be successful, commit to the work that is to be done, use the strategies taught in the class.
“Us against them” philosophy
