Flag students falling behind pace before it compounds

Every Monday, WebRun opens Prenda, checks each student's mastery pace against their grade level benchmark in math and reading, logs anyone running more than 5 school days behind to an Airtable pacing tracker, and posts the guide a Slack list of who needs a pacing check in this week.

In short

How do I catch microschool students falling behind their curriculum pace?

Every Monday, WebRun checks each student's mastery pace in Prenda against their grade level benchmark in math and reading. Anyone running more than 5 school days behind gets logged to an Airtable pacing tracker with their subject and last completed lesson, and the guide gets a ranked Slack list of who needs a pacing check in that week, before a slow week turns into a slow term.

  • Students behind pace get flagged the week it starts, not at the end of a term
  • The guide opens Slack to a ranked check in list instead of scanning every student in Prenda
  • A running Airtable log makes it easy to spot a student who falls behind more than once

Questions, answered

Does it change a student's curriculum or pace on its own?

No. It only reads pacing data from Prenda and flags who is behind. Adjusting a student's curriculum or pace stays the guide's call.

How far behind triggers a flag?

More than 5 school days behind their grade level benchmark in math or reading, so a normal off week does not trigger a false alarm.

Does it look at every subject?

It checks the mastery pace Prenda tracks for math and reading, since those are the subjects with grade level benchmarks to compare against.
