Student Need
EDUCATION 2020’s Virtual Classroom solutions have proven
effective at facilitating enhanced achievement for disadvantaged,
at-risk, medically challenged and dropout students as well as
enabling “behind-the-curve” and accelerated students
to learn at their own pace, recover credits and achieve academic
success.
Designed for students in grades 6-12, EDUCATION 2020 offers
your school a core and intervention program that gets students
on the right academic track. For students in need of obtaining
credits for core instruction or for credit recovery, or students
requiring additional instructional intervention to achieve mastery
on state examinations, EDUCATION 2020 instructional programs
give students the added flexibility of completing their course
work anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Individual Education Program
EDUCATION 2020 supports special education and special needs students
in several ways to supplement the child’s Individual Education
Program (IEP). Through the use of our technology, students have
a means to access curriculum for the purpose of credit recovery,
tutoring, content review, enhanced study, and remediation.
Credit Recovery
The EDUCATION 2020 program enables a student to recover one or
many credits in a manner flexible to the needs of the school
as well as the student. The administrator may assign credit recovery
work ranging from a section missed or failed by a student up
to an including the entire course. The flexibility of our program
enables this credit recovery to begin at any time during the
school year which can be critical for student advancement to
the next grade level or graduation. The EDUCATION 2020 program
is also an ideal delivery method of summer school instruction,
enabling a limited number of administrators to offer credit recovery
in a wide number of subjects.
Tutoring, Content Review, and Advanced Study
If a student is in need of tutoring or enhanced study, each EDUCATION
2020 class is a plethora of information ready to access. Each
EDUCATION 2020 class is a “real” class with a teacher
following an instructional format similar to that in a live classroom,
except it is virtual and available 24 hours a day, 7 day a week.
It offers students their own individualized instructor to review
any aspect of any class such as Biology, Algebra, English 9,
World History, or any other class at the time of the student’s
choosing. Once assigned by the school for this purpose, the student
can go in and review any portion of that class with the teacher
providing instruction over specific content aligned to the state
standards along with other educational enhancement activities
such as internet assignments, workbook activities, and other
tutorial programs. Each student can seek help in understanding
a concept without the concern of ridicule or comments by other
students.
Enrichment / Reinforcement
Enrichment can occur through the EDUCATION 2020 program in two
ways. The first is enrichment internal to our program. The second
is for students in need of specific areas of intensive intervention
per their standard class load in school.
Internal to the program is a testing component in the form
of a quiz or test at the end of each learning objective. Mastery
level can be set by the program administrators on a school wide
or per class basis. If students do not attain the mastery level
set for assessments, the EDUCATION 2020 program is designed to
take that student back through the lesson until mastery is attained.
Students can move backward and/or forward through any lecture
component and may retake any non-testing assignment to develop
understanding of the material before re-taking the testing component
with the goal to achieve a passing score. Per school specifications,
the student will have a precise number of attempts to test over
the learning objective. If the student does not pass, the school’s
program administrator is alerted who may then tutor the student
to support understanding of the material and allow additional
test retakes. This is ideal for the student with learning challenges
related to attention deficit, brain injury, or any other circumstance
which requires an environment supportive of slower learning.
The EDUCATION 2020 program also offers the solution for students
in need of specific areas of remediation per their standard class
load in school. An administrator can assign specific content
in the form of particular lessons and topics for the student
to review. The student would then be tested on those lessons
to determine proficiency. For students who have missed classes
or for other reasons have failed to gain proficiency in specified
subject matter, this is an excellent alternative to insure that
no student will fall behind.
Our instructional programs can also provide learning opportunities
for students in non-traditional, at-risk, home-bound, or other
alternative settings to recover credits through virtual online
courses in a flexible and engaging environment.
