There are 13 progress evaluations in this course, all of which are all faculty evaluated. The points earned on each progress evaluation count toward your final course grade.

Make certain you have completed the reading assignments before you attempt each progress evaluation.

A note about confidentiality: When completing progress evaluations, please draw from your personal experiences in the schools and from your work with children and families. However, when including comments or details from your personal experiences, DO NOT include names, birth dates, locations, or any identifying information about the children or families or anyone else involved in your experiences. Including such identifying information would be inappropriate, unethical, and possibly illegal. Please double-check all your assignments for such information prior to submitting them.

All progress evaluations must be submitted to the Center for scoring. After your progress evaluation has been scored, you will receive a lesson report, which gives your score and provides comments to help you improve your work. (If the report still does not help you understand troublesome questions, then you may write or send e-mail to the Center describing your specific difficulty. Be sure to identify the course and the lesson number as well as the question number.)

You are encouraged to submit one lesson at a time and wait until you receive the lesson report before submitting the next lesson; however, you may submit up to three progress evaluations in a seven-day period. You must submit each progress evaluation in order.

More detailed instructions for completing the progress evaluations can be found below.
