Student Expectations & Keys for Success

Using Edgenuity will require that students have daily access to high quality internet.

Students must be able to effectively manage their time as they complete independent, self-paced assignments. They should also have the ability and willingness to learn independently, be self-motivated to remain on track and engaged in completing assignments without constant teacher guidance and communicate effectively whenever help is needed. Students interested in a virtual learning option should be on grade level for reading. Students that do not remain in good academic standing will be required to return to their brick-and-mortar school, as described in the Memorandum of Understanding, Appendix A.

Facilitator Support

Each secondary school will have a facilitator that monitors student progress and provides technical assistance, as necessary. The facilitator is not a content specific teacher but is liaison between the student and a content teacher if academic support is necessary.

Criteria for Success

Students who choose to participate in online courses need to examine their personal skills and aptitudes for taking a class online. The following attributes will greatly contribute to a student's success:

• Self-motivation - Students can direct their own learning environment and methods to fulfill course requirements and achieve individual academic success.

• Independent learner - The online environment enables students to learn at their own pace, relieving the stress of feeling rushed or pressured and providing enjoyment in the learning process.

• Computer literate - Although it is not necessary to have advanced computer skills, students should possess a working knowledge of electronic e-mail, the Internet, as well as basic keyboarding skills.

• Time management - Students must be able to organize and plan their own best "time to learn." There is no one best time for everyone, but the key to learning is to make the time to learn.

• Effective written communication skills - Students must use electronic e-mail and discussion forums to communicate with their peers as well as the instructors. The ability to write clearly to communicate ideas and assignments is essential. This method provides the learner with rapid feedback as well as a means to inform instructors of any concerns or problems that they may be experiencing.

• Personal commitment - Because there are no bells that begin and end classes, students must have a strong desire to learn and achieve knowledge and skills via online courses. Making a commitment to learning in this manner is a very personal decision and requires a strong commitment to perform in order to achieve academic success.

• Reading lexile level of 900 or above - Because the online coursework is rigorous, a reading lexile level of 900 or above is critical that potential online students have a minimum 900 lexile level.

• Last but not least, successful online students are students who decide for themselves that online learning is a choice that they want to make.

Academic Integrity:

Academic dishonesty in any form or type will not be tolerated. All online students are expected to strictly adhere to the school's policy, which includes but is not limited to cheating and Plagiarism.
