LEARNING ACTIVITES:
What specific activities will the student do each week/month to accomplish the goals of this course and complete the curricula? The easiest way is to divide up each curriculum according to the number of weeks or months in the school year.

Examples:
• [Student’s name] will complete one workbook page per day from each workbook (OR “student will complete one unit per month from each curricula”)
• [Student’s name] will complete all applicable chapter/unit tests.
• [Student’s name] will practice math facts/play math games ___________minutes each day.
• [Student’s name] will also attend the weekly workshop _______________ at _____________ for [time frame].
• [Student’s name] will read for 20 minutes per day from grade-level books of his/her choice.
• Parent will read to [Student’s name] daily, including a variety of genres throughout the year.
• [Student’s name] will log the time and activity each week to equal 5 hour a week.
• [Student’s name] will log the time, the music/song, instruction and practice they are working on each week to equal 5 hours per week.

Moving through the materials at this pace will ensure completion by the end of the year and accomplish the goals of the course.

PROGRESS CRITERIA/METHODS OF EVALUATION BOX:
List the methods by which you will evaluate your student’s mastery of the material. Answer the questions: “How will you know they have learned the material?” and “What will you do if they have not?” Include the level of accuracy you expect them to achieve (80% is generally considered to be indicative of mastery). For example:

[Student’s name] will be expected to achieve 80% accuracy on each assignment or test before moving on to the next. Concepts not mastered at this level will be re-taught until 80% mastery is achieved. Mastery may be evaluated by written tests, oral questions and answers, or parent observation.

Must include this statement: [Student’s name] will keep a portfolio of weekly work samples and any written assessments to present to consultant at face-to-face.

Must include this statement: Every month progress will be determined by the teacher of this course based on the question: “Will the student master his performance objectives by the end of the course?” The teacher will take into consideration ALL factors (including student life situation, effort, attitude, etc.) when making this professional judgment.

Must include this statement: Each month the student will show satisfactory progress toward the stated yearly learning goals (learning goals are measured by formative and summative assessments). The student’s overall monthly evaluation of progress is based on the judgment of a certified teacher.
