1. The progress report is intended to serve as a journal for your project throughout the semester. It is the mechanism through which you report progress (or lack of progress!), and share information relevant to project implementation and evaluation.
2. Entries should be made every other week and no later than by Sunday night at 11:59PM. Each entry should be as concise and substantive as possible and show the progress you are making with your project. Comment on two of your classmates reports by Wednesday at 11:59PM
3. Please provide entries according to the following format to provide consistency across all reports.
a. Introduction/overview of week’s goals and accomplishments*
b. Challenges (anticipated and unanticipated) faced and strategies used to overcome challenges/barriers*
c. Utilization of coaching and/or mentoring to assist you in your work; as well as noting any coaching or mentoring you offered to those helping you carry out this project

4. Faculty and peer review will be done every other week. Reviews and comments on others are requested from student peers no later than Wednesday at 11:59PM. This semester will allow you the opportunity to hone your peer review skill sets. Part of your grade will be on class participation, and the level and quality of your weekly peer reviews will be evaluated.

* Remember to include relevant literature supporting your implementation plan and evidence-based strategies used to overcome barriers/challenges.
