Evaluate the strengths and weakness of the Super Improvers Team as applied to weak, intermediate, and academically advanced students. Include a note evaluating the Super Improvers Team’s possible effectiveness with extremely challenging students.
The Super Improvers Team is a great opportunity for the academically weak students. Those are the ones I work with every day. The Super Improvers Team allows them to improver academically with individual attainable goals they can reach. With them reaching goals and begin recognized for them, it will hopefully build their self esteem.
With intermediate students, the Super Improvers Team provides the opportunity to establish goals that are challenging, yet attainable. I think they would stand to see the most progress with this system. They might be those students who have the potential to achieve more, but they are the group of students that seem to "blend in". With the Super Improver Team, they would hopefully feel encouraged as well as motivated to do the best they can.
For academically advanced students, the Super Improvers Team would be beneficial as well. These students will have to work just as hard as the academically weak students to reach their goals. The Super Improver Team is a motivator for them though as most are highly competitive. In most cases it might take them longer to advance up the Super Improver Team.
The Super Improver Team gives extremely challenging students the option of choosing a goal he or she would like to attain. With the Super Improver Team extremely challenging students can be given both academic and behavioral improvement goals. At the beginning of the year the teacher and student can conference and make a list of goals. This list is what the challenging student can choose to work on to earn stars.
