10+How+the+ICU+System+Works

chapter 10 summary

ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit, just like in hospitals, only in schools it's a system used for sick grades because of missing work. The goal is to get the student to be a " responsible, independent worker and learner". It involves using a spreadsheet to document a student's missing assignments, able to be seen by anyone logged into the system. Once that student's name is on the ICU list, it becomes a big deal, so big that students don't want their names on it. The outcome of the process is every student completing every assignment but it takes teachers working together to make this system work, a 100% commitment.

WHS implication All teachers have to commit to helping the student finish any missing work. If the student has any 'down' time during your class, make sure that student is working on the missing work.
