Customized Email Reports
Fast ForWord provides customizable email data that can automatically send selected participant reports to parents and important staff members such as teachers, principals, school officials, and others, on a daily or weekly basis. We can customise these reports to reflect each recipient’s needs. For example:
Teachers and families can incorporate progress information into their work with the students in the classroom and at home. At the end of Fast ForWord activity, teachers, parents, and officials can evaluate student success in all areas instructed in the above formats. Fast ForWord Progress Tracker allows teachers to further personalise Fast ForWord activity, reinforcing areas of strength and helping with areas of difficulty. Teachers can then make appropriate adjustments to class work by examining student Fast ForWord Progress Tracker reports.
Fast ForWord promotes improvements in Listening skills /attention span, Class participation, Attitude, Confidence, Self-esteem, Motivation, Productive use of time, Anxiety and stress levels, Positive and appropriate behaviour. Progress Tracker is an essential tool for teachers in their intervention programmes.
- A concerned parent could automatically receive the individual participant report at the end of the week to see how his or her child is doing in the products.
- A teacher could receive an Exercise Percent Complete report each day for only those participants who needed attention, to help determine why those individuals are not progressing as expected.
- A school principal could receive an Administrator report each week to find out how all immigrant recipients or special needs students were responding to the Fast ForWord products.
