Note: In order to get the lessons OR to generate the individualized learning plan, students need to complete the course pretest.

Courses include a series of lessons with multiple pages per lesson.

At the end of the lesson the student is assessed on the lesson. Five multiple choice questions are present to evaluate the student’s comprehension of the material in the lesson. If mastery is not achieved, the student can reset the lesson, which gives the student additional attempts to answer a new set of questions. Resets are represented with numbered circles that go from 5 down to 1.

In this example, five (5) resets are allowed. The number of resets, allowed per lesson, is based upon the school specifications. After a reset has been used, one numbered circle will be removed.
