The Go-Joe Reader Program takes the guess work out of trying to figure out how
far a district has walked each day.
The program uses the "Daily Reading Goal"
set by the district and number of students participating in the
project to
calculate how many reading minutes equate to (1) mile of walking. The program
then dynamically changes, based on
this computation, when student enter
their daily reading minutes.
The “District Reading Goal” is the daily average number of reading minutes the district wishes each student to attempt.
Mileage computations are based on the number of participating students and the daily reading goal set by the district.
The "Days into Project" and "Miles Needed to Date" are based on the date
the district selected to start the journey.
The Journey's Length (90,000 miles), Project Length (30 days), and Daily
Travel Needed (3,000 miles) are all fixed values.
The “Actual Miles to Date” is a dynamic value which updates itself every
time a student enters their daily reading minutes.
The "Minutes to Miles Conversion" is based on the "District Reading Goal"
and the number of students participating in journey.
The “At Current Pace” calculation determines whether the district is
BEHIND, MEETING, or AHEAD of its reading goal.
If the district is within 10% of the "Miles Needed to Date", the district
is considered to be meeting its reading goal.
