What You’ll Need:
- A device with internet access (computer, tablet, or smartphone).

Step 3: Select a Student
- Choose one of your students to view more details.
- On this screen, you will see each of your student’s courses with a projected completion date, class goal indicator, and course progress percentage.
Note: It’s essential to regularly check your student’s progress to ensure they are progressing in their courses at the desired rate. Please note that the weekly goals will reset each week, regardless of the coursework the student completes.
Step 4: Navigate to Manage Account
- Select the back arrow in the top left to return to the Student Dashboard.
- Click on ‘Manage Account’.
Step 5: Adjust the Weekly Goals
- Here you will see each of your student’s current classes and, off to the right of each class, the Weekly Goal.
- Make goal adjustments for each class as needed.
Helpful Tips:
- It’s essential to regularly check your student’s progress to ensure they are progressing in their courses at a steady rate.
- Please note that the weekly goals will reset each week, regardless of the coursework the student completes.
- The auto-populated goal is calculated for a student to complete the course over a typical school year (approximately 180 days).
- The weekly goal will be broken down into a 5-day week. For example, if the weekly goal is set at 10 steps, the student will be assigned 2 steps each day.
- Remember that completed forward-going steps in the course count towards the goal.
- If a student chooses to retake a step or is struggling and repeats it, or goes through a series of recovery steps, these do not count towards completing the daily goal.
- Be sure to monitor your student’s progress to ensure they are progressing at a steady pace in their courses.
