DYNAMIC LEARNING PROGRAM

The Dynamic Learning Program (DLP) is an alternative learning program designed to foster active and engaging learning.  The program places a strong emphasis on classroom discussions, individual conferencing, and small group activities, creating an environment that encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and personal growth.

DLP employs an active learning methodology that goes beyond the conventional lectures and textbooks.  Students are encouraged to be actively involved in the learning process, participating in hands-on activities and real world applications.  Open discussions are encouraged.  Students are active contributors to the learning experience.

Every student will engage in regular one-on-one conferences.  These one-on-one conferences allow for a deeper understanding of each student's learning style, interests, and challenges.

Collaborative learning is an integral part of DLP.  Small group activities, projects, and problem solving tasks foster teamwork, communication skills, and the ability to approach challenges from multiple perspectives.  Students learn not only from staff but also from their peers within the program.

The classrooms are designed to be flexible and adaptable.  Classrooms can be rearranged to suit different activities when needed, technology is integrated seamlessly to enhance the learning experience.

The Dynamic Learning Program embraces active learning, meaningful discussions, individualized support, and collaborative activities.  The program strives to cultivate not just knowledge, but the skills and mindset needed for success.

The student’s school day consists of a combination of DLP classes and courses within the larger community.  All course work is designed to fulfill graduation credits.  DLP not only addresses academic development but also emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility , mental well being, and the value of a positive mindset.  This approach ensures that students are not only academically prepared but also equipped with the life skills and resilience needed for a successful and fulfilling future.

Students, parents/guardians, guidance counselors and administration may participate in an interview process, and must sign a contract agreeing to comply with DLP expectations, to pursue enrollment in the program. By signing this agreement you agree to the following: making every effort to attend your classes, contribute to the larger community by participating positively in classes and/or events, abide by the larger DYRHS student handbook and understand that behaviors which endanger the welfare of staff or other students can be grounds for dismissal from the program.

Facilitating students in developing their full potential and in pursuing their post-high school aspirations are the primary objectives of the Alternative Learning Program.
