5. HOW IT WORKS
1. The parent or teacher enrolls the student, homeschool or private school by paying the yearly subscription and choosing a password to access the curriculum.
2. EACH STUDENT BEGINS AT THE LOWEST LEVEL - PRESCHOOL - TO INSURE THAT HE or SHE RECEIVES THE FULL BENEFIT and KNOWLEDGE GIVEN in the BEEHIVE CURRICULUM.
3. If the student is YOUNGER - he or she should just begin at the preschool level and progress as he is able.
4. If the student is OLDER -
1. The parent prints off the quarterly or even the final assessment in each of the preschool courses.
2. The student then takes the assessments.
3. Any assessment that the student passes with an 85% correct score, he should consider passed-off.
4. However, for any missed questions, he should access the leasson numbers given by the missed questions; study those lessons and then retake the missed portions of the final or quarterly assessment. To pass-off the missed portions, he must receive a 100% correct score.
5. When he has passed-off a level of a subject satisfactorily, then he progresses to the next level of that subject.
6. He continues taking the assesments at higher levels until he reaches a point where his initial score on an assessment is 60% or less.
7. At this point, he should study all the lessons for that subject at that level.
For example: Lou takes the reading assessment at the preschool level and passes it off with 96%. She continues through the kindergarten level of reading, getting a 90%. She reviews the lessons for the questions she missed. She works her way through Levels 1, 2, and 3, but recieves a score of 59% on the Level 4 Communications course final assessment. This means that she does all of the Level 4 lessons. Her working level is Level 4.
