K-2 Program Description
Instructional Model
Students in grades K‐2 are learning essential skills such as reading and writing. It is imperative that they
have an instructional model that provides them with structure and support throughout the academic day. At the
K‐2 grade level, teachers work closely with adult facilitators (parents or tech center monitors) to ensure that a
schedule is devised and that facilitators have all supplemental materials and knowledge needed to guide
students throughout the day.

program that addresses the following content areas:

Class Sessions
Students in grades K‐2 meet with their teacher each morning to discuss the assignments for the day. Students are given an opportunity to interact with the teacher and with each other by using the tools available during the live web conferencing sessions. Throughout the day, students work on their assignments with the help and guidance of both their teacher and parent/facilitator. At the end of each day, K-2 students participate in individual progress sessions with the teacher to ensure students have successfully completed the day’s lessons.
