FAQ Friday: Where Can I Find the Student Achievement Certificates?

When a student has completed all of the lessons in a Learning Upgrade course, they earn a certificate of achievement. If all lessons have been completed at a success rate of 95% or better it will be gold. If the student has a success rate of 90%-94% a silver certificate will be earned, and a bronze certificate will be earned for a success rate of 75%-89%. Teachers can easily view all students who have completed the Learning Upgrade courses at these levels and print out the certificates.

Step 1: Log in to your Learning Upgrade teacher account and select ‘Teacher Menu’

Step 2: From the ‘Teacher Menu’ click the link for ‘Student Monitor’

Step 3: In the student monitor, you can sort your students so that those who have earned a certificate appear at the top. Click the ‘Certificates’ icon at the bottom.

Step 4: Click on the certificate image next to the students name

Step 5: Click Print

Girl Makes Pre Algebra Summer Breakthrough

Email from parent JW in Kenfield California:

Learning Upgrade Folks:

Just a quick and complimentary note regarding
your pre-algebra program. My 12 year-old daughter, who is otherwise an outstanding student, got a bit ‘lost’ in math this past year perhaps due to a few months in school in England.

Your pre-algrebra course has helped her immensely first, by identifying her weak areas, and second, remediating them. As of last night we are half way through the course to lesson 31 and look forward to finishing the remainder while on vacation in Italy.

Once we complete pre-algebra we intend to explore some more advanced programs and make this part of our routine.

Great stuff. From a former college teacher….
