  4. Purpose of Log • The Log is a vehicle for information exchange. • The Log will enable formative feedback important for reading success. • The Log will enable appropriate follow-up support for schools and coaches.

  5. Instructions • Indicate how you spent your time as a Reading Coach during the current reporting period. • The Log allows for, but does not require, reporting of daily hours. • If you wish to enter daily task hours electronically, the system will total the hours automatically.

  6. Or you may manually add and transfer your weekly hours to the “Task Total” space for each task.

  7. After all task totals are entered, the system will automatically figure the appropriate percentages per task and the total number of hours for the reporting period. 100%

  8. Instructions • Time spent on coaching tasks after the regular workday or on weekends may be entered. • These extra hours may be added to any day’s hours.

  9. Instructions • Remember, the only required electronic entry is the Task Total for each of the 11 tasks. • You must enter 0 instead of leaving a Task Total blank.

  10. Instructions • You will probably want to keep a detailed account of your hourly activities. • The blank hourly Log in this handout can be duplicated or you may create your own to facilitate tracking of coaching activities. • You may enter portions of hours in the system by using these decimals. 15 minutes = .25; 30 minutes = .50; 45 minutes = .75.

  11. Reporting • Each Log tracks a two week reporting period. • The reporting period begins on Wednesday of the first week. • The reporting period ends at midnight on Tuesday of the second week. • The last reporting period will be the last full reporting period prior to the school’s 185th instructional day.

  12. Wednesday ???? • The Wednesday – Tuesday reporting period allows for a 2 day grace period ending on Thursday. • Eliminates the “Freaky Friday” syndrome. • Keeps all reporting within the workweek eliminating a possible memory gap over the weekend.

  13. Reporting Period (RP)

  14. Reporting • On Monday of second week, users will receive a reminder email to complete the Log. • If the Log report is not received by Tuesday midnight, a second reminder email will be sent on Wednesday. • Absolute deadline for submitting Logs is midnight Thursday following Week 2. After this time, opportunity for submitting the Log for the prior two week period is lost. Only the new log is available for submission.
