Things You'll Need:
- Your child’s transcript
- Local high school requirements
-
Step 1
Evaluate what you have. Take a good look at what work has been completed satisfactorily and what the student needs to do over. Any classes with grades beneath a C needs to be repeated and any math classes with grades beneath a B should probably be repeated as well, because you cannot move on in math until you have mastered previous levels.
-
Step 2
Map out what you need to complete to graduate. This will include classes that need repeating, as well as new classes you need to complete. Chances are your student will spend the summers completing coursework as well.
-
Step 3
Decide how the coursework will be completed. You have the option of taking local coop and homeschool classes. Later on, you may want to take community college classes or participate in joint enrollment classes. Completing other courses can be as simple as reading books and materials, writing a paper and documenting hours spent on the subject. You will want to do a combination of choices per “semester”.
-
Step 4
Get to work. Once your timeline and coursework are laid out, you need to just start from the beginning and move forward. Being by repeating work where the child got poor grades in the past or did not understand. Move on to more challenging and higher level work as each previous level is completed.
-
Step 5
Document everything. As your child completes each course, document their progress. Since part of your documentation will include a school transcript, some of which will show poor work and effort, it is very important to show a dramatic turn around.
