How large should weekly goals be and are there any limits?
Acellus creator Dr. Roger Billings recommends limiting weekly goals to 20 steps or less per class. This helps to ensure that all students have enough time to fully understand and absorb the material before moving on. High school core courses have a pacing guide in place with a weekly step limit of 40 steps, meaning that students cannot complete one of these full year courses in less than a semester. This requirement is due to NCAA and accreditation requirements at schools who use Acellus courses. Research also shows that this approach significantly enhances students’ ability to retain and recall information for future use. For situations where parents need another option and do not need an Acellus course completion certificate, www.2tor.online can be a useful alternative.
