It’s August 5, and on this date in 1914, the first electric traffic light was installed in Cleveland, Ohio. All of us are familiar with the colors of red for stop, yellow for caution and green for go, and our online middle school courses and online high school courses use those colors in pacing guides which tell students if they are staying on track to complete their courses on time. A green figure means that the student is right on schedule and should complete the course in plenty of time. A yellow figure means that the student is falling slightly behind schedule and may need to pick up the pace. A red schedule means that the student has fallen way behind schedule and needs to work more diligently to complete the course. Similar pacing guides are not available in our middle school correspondence courses and high school correspondence courses, but a good rule of thumb in those courses is to finish a unit exam every week or two. As always, our instructors and the rest of our staff are here to help our students stay on track, and you always have the green light to enroll because we accept enrollments year-round.
