For when there are more teachers and more assignments.

Parents of children starting middle school.

A useful time to begin: more teachers and assignments.

Start with one current assignment and the part getting in the way. The student leads one step; the adult helping keeps the student's thinking and school-agreed support in place. Keep the planner your school already uses.

Use alongside your school's expectations. This does not diagnose learning needs or guarantee grades.

One private place for the next step.

The Notion companion holds the same four tools in a workspace you duplicate and keep.

Begin at Start Here, then open One assignment, next step, Our homework handoff plan, A question for school or A brief weekly review. Each tool page begins blank.

Four tools, one page each

One assignment, next step; Our homework handoff plan; A question for school; and A brief weekly review. Reusable blank tools holds all four, ready to duplicate for a fresh record.

Examples stay closed

Every prompt has a gray 'See an example' toggle with fictional Cora and Hal's answer. The complete Cora and Hal example page shows their whole week side by side.

A reference shelf

The Complete guide, Reference cards and school scripts, and About the approach sit on the home page, with a Downloads page for printable and offline copies.

Included with the complete kit, not a separate purchase. Requires your own Notion account; PDF and Word work without it. Your duplicate is your own copy. It has no school connection, sends no messages and sets no automatic reminders.

Also in your kit.

Real pages from each included file, alongside the Notion companion. Open a preview to see the detail.
