We just started using this yesterday.   How does the student know that they have done enough work for the day to stay on track with the weekly steps goal?

Thank you for the great question Terri!

We allow parents to decide how much work the student will do each day in the program by setting a weekly goal for each course.

You can set a weekly goal for your student in the parent interface.  Acellus will break down this weekly goal into 5 days.  Students can check their goals by going to the 'Progress' tab in their account. 

Each course will have a varying amount of steps to complete the course.  Parents can check how many steps remain in the 'Syllabus' tab found in the parent interface.

In our program, students are advanced through grade levels based on their concept mastery rather than based on the amount of time that they spend. The courses are self-paced, so students are able to move through the course material at their own pace depending on how quickly they pick up the concepts. They have a certain number of steps to complete before a course is considered finished.
