📅 Managing Follow-Ups

Track topics that need additional teaching or review sessions.

What Are Follow-Ups?

Follow-ups are reminders for topics where Lucas needs extra help. When you mark an assignment with a follow-up action (other than "No follow-up needed"), it appears in the Needs Follow-Up tab.

This helps you:

  • Track concepts that need reinforcement
  • Plan future lessons based on identified gaps
  • Ensure nothing falls through the cracks

The Needs Follow-Up Tab

Click the Needs Follow-Up tab to see all assignments marked for extra attention.

All items needing extra teaching appear here

Information Shown

  • Subject - Which subject the follow-up relates to
  • Original assignment - What Lucas was working on
  • Follow-up type - Brief review, re-teach, tutorial, etc.
  • Scheduled date - When you planned to address it
  • Topic notes - What specifically needs attention

Scheduling Follow-Ups

When grading, if you select a follow-up action, you can add details:

  1. Select the follow-up action (e.g., "Brief review in next lesson")
  2. Optionally set a target date
  3. Add topic notes (e.g., "Review carrying in addition")
  4. Click Give Final Grade
💡

Be specific in your notes. "Math needs help" is less useful than "Struggles with borrowing in subtraction - use manipulatives".

Follow-Up Types Explained

Type Time When to Use
Brief review 5-10 min Quick refresher at start of next related lesson
Additional practice 15-20 min More problems of the same type
Re-teach concept Full lesson Fundamental misunderstanding, start fresh
One-on-one tutorial Dedicated session Complex issue needing focused attention
Extension activity Varies Mastery achieved, ready for challenge

Completing Follow-Ups

After you've addressed a follow-up:

  1. Go to the Needs Follow-Up tab
  2. Find the completed item
  3. Click "Mark Complete" or update the assignment status
  4. The item is removed from the follow-up list

Completed follow-ups are recorded in the assignment history for your reference.

Best Practices

  • Review weekly - Check the Follow-Up tab at the start of each week
  • Prioritize - Address re-teach items before brief reviews
  • Group by subject - Handle all Math follow-ups in one session
  • Document outcomes - Note what worked when you complete a follow-up
  • Don't overload - Better to do fewer follow-ups well than rush through many
