What to Expect from Virtual Learning

What it is...

An intentional learning experience that requires innovative teaching and significant parent support. Students will work through online, self-paced lessons, assessments, small group experiences, and will be supported by live instruction. Student/school relationships will provide a foundation for all learning. Following a daily schedule, teachers will provide routines, structures, lessons, and feedback.

 What it is not...

Traditional school….although teachers will be intentional and provide effective instruction for students, virtual school will not directly mirror traditional school.  Short live sessions will enhance the student learning experience. Teachers cannot provide the supervision necessary for students to be successful. More than ever, a collaborative, positive relationship between home and school is imperative to student success.
