Montessori Compass: Progress Reports

 Now that the school year is competed, I thought it would be the ideal time to share with you one of the convenient features of Montessori Compass. Please read more about this user-friendly, time saving, online recording keeping system HERE if you have not done so already - it really is a wonderful tool for Montessori educators, schools, and families.  One feature which I recently utilized for the first time was the Progress Report generator.  This compilation of data is meant to share with parents the various lessons and activities in which their child has participated as well as the level of current work.  The best part is that when the time comes to process a Progress Report, the most challenging work is already done - the information is simply gathered from all the record keeping and observation input previously entered by the teacher throughout a chosen time frame.  For example, when it came time for me to make the Progress Reports, all I had to do was enter the dates for which I wanted the information to begin and end, and Montessori Compass did the rest!  Amazing, I know!  I also found the 'Teacher Comment' feature highly useful in sharing personalized information about each child.  In addition to the availability to write a General Summary for the student, what was most helpful is the fact that each curriculum area allows for a personal comment from the teacher.   What a perfect way to personalize the information for parents! Thank you, Montessori Compass for making it so convenient for me and the parents of my students.
