School counselor will explain we will be playing jeopardy today to assess our mastery of the knowledge and skills we have learned this year in SDV100. Students should break into two teams prior to starting the game, which will be facilitated via PowerPoint presentation. 3. Students will share their open and honest feedback regarding their experience in SDV100 this year by completing the SDV100 Reflection Survey. 4. School counselor will facilitate a class discussion on closure: How will you remember and maintain the knowledge and skills you have learned in SDV100? What do you feel you still need help with or need to work on moving forward when it comes to student success skills? What supports do you have available to you that can you seek out, outside of SDV100? (If needed, school counselor can share examples: before/afterschool or Titan Time help with teachers, asking for help from school counselor, study groups, peer‐tutoring, parental supports, Clubhouse goal‐setting). Now that you have experienced SDV100 together in class, how might you be a support to one another outside of class? 5.

Outcome Data: We will collect data on students’ academic achievement as evidenced through grades. Follow‐Up: Based on feedback shared during the final class discussion and on the SDV100 Reflection Survey, we will assess what areas students feel they still need support with. This information may be shared with student’s assigned school counselors and classroom teachers. For the Future: We need to ensure students complete the Academic Success Plan during Lesson 1 and that a copy is kept on file. In some instances, students were absent and did not make up the assignment and in others, copies were not made before returning to students.
