Progress+Report

Description: I have found this year to have been a difficult year professionally because of the assimilation and transition of the AOL program into the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District. I have struggled with the lack of clear guidance and support for the program and our students. One task lost in the transition was progress reports. We had no form to communicate the information to students and parents/guardians.

Analysis: We had been given a progress document another teacher had created. After viewing it, I found it confusing and I was not able to understand what the teacher was trying to communicate. My co-teacher and I then created our own progress report document. Our goal was to communicate the credits students entered the program with and the student's current credit standing. With several revisions, we then asked students to look at the document to see if they understood the document. Upon receiving student approval, we knew we had the final version.

Reflection: I think we created a clear and concise document that communicates with students and parents/guardians what the student has accomplished thus far and what is yet to be completed in order to graduate.
