Context
Lovett students have accountability partners as a support system for their work. Students are paired together and check-in with each other weekly during independent learning time. A primary goal of the check-in is to see how their partner is doing. Students share their goals and progress and see how they can support each other. While the structured check-ins happen weekly, support can happen throughout the week if necessary.
