Behavior and Work Habits
Student behaviors and work habits influence academic success, self-esteem, relationships, career-readiness, and interactions within the community. The link between learning achievement and student performance is strong. Students who are actively engaged with learning and who feel confident with the tasks presented to them are less likely to be off-task, disruptive, unorganized, and disconnected. Behaviors and work habits are unique to each individual, and it is important to identify the root of why learners are who they are.
Pathways to Readiness does not diagnose, but can assess, identify, and support areas of behavior and work habits that are unique to your learner and provide information about how they make educational impacts.
