Our Online Curriculum: How it Works (Sample Lesson, Algebra 1)
Study From Home & Parent's Role in Online Schooling
Students studying from home require their parent (or another responsible adult) to serve as the ‘learning coach’, The learning coach works in conjunction with the teacher, helping facilitate progress through the daily lessons and working to modify the pace and schedule according to the child’s needs. The learning coach assists the student as well to stay on schedule, monitors attendance, and communicates with the online teachers.
Although parents play the role of learning coach for their students in managing the schedule and ensuring the student is completing work at a reasonable pace, teachers remain constantly involved to monitor progress, ensure mastery, and develop specific intervention plans when a child is studying.
