Enrichment / Summer Advancement
• Ask teacher/district to acknowledge • Probably will not get credit, but can advance if
pass a school placement test - must work out beforehand
• Motivation– Agreement with school– Kohn Academy awards badges– What motivates your child?– Try to tap into self motivation

Summer School Alternatives
• Must get approval from district• Can sometimes satisfy degree requirement
with lesser course– Algebra 2 instead of Algebra/Trig
• Commitment– Self motivated, reliable on time homework– Encouraging supervision at home
• Regent retake – no agreement necessary
