“A” Student Profiles
Part 1

H. Williams, Clarifying Grade Expectations, August/September, 1993 and Paul
Solomon and Annette Nellon, Communicating About the Behavioral Dimensions of
Grades, February, 1996.
Successful students can be distinguished from the
average student by their attitudes and behaviors. Below are some profiles that
typically distinguish between an “A” student and a “C” student. Where do you
fit in this scheme?
The “A” Student – An Outstanding Student
1. ATTENDANCE:
“A” students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class
is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.
2. PREPARATION: “A” students are prepared for class.
They always read the assignment. Their attention to detail is such that they
occasionally can elaborate on class examples.
3. CURIOSITY: “A” students demonstrate interest in the
class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don’t understand. They
often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.
4. RETENTION: “A” students have retentive minds and
practice making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning
with the present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their
classes. They focus on learning concepts rather than memorizing details.
