NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

As with the honor roll and the student of the quarter,
course supervisors may also establish similar programs
specific to their individual courses.
Awards should be limited as to what the course
supervisors are allowed to do within their activity's
policies.
Improved Performance
While awarding individual performance is important, it
often reaches only a small portion of the student
population. Many times the student recognized would
have been motivated without the program. Improved
performance awards recognize students for something
other than highest course average.
The student, for example, who progressively improves
performance and attitude, may deserve recognition for
the improvements.
Group Performance. Some courses require students to work
as teams. When this is done, the group should be recognized
for outstanding performance.
SECTION 3 - STUDENTS COUNSELING
Preventive counseling will be instituted in "A" and "C" schools
and should include counseling for performance and personal
problems.
Preventive counseling is designed to provide help to solve
a problem before it results in reduced learning capacity or
course failure.
One of the options of preventive counseling is to recommend
mandatory remediation and in some cases, an initial
academic setback for the student who is having difficulty
achieving the objectives. Course supervisors have the
authority to approve an initial academic setback if deemed
necessary from a counseling session with the student. An
ARB must approve subsequent academic setbacks. Refer to
Chapter 3, Section 6 for ARB policy and procedures.
It is the duty of all staff members to be aware of their
roles and responsibilities as counselors. Refer to
Chapter 2, Sections 2.3 and 2.4, for a list of duties,
responsibilities, and training requirements.
