Program Features:

1. Written Student Learning Plan (WSLP):

  • Parents, students and staff write individualized student learning plans or SLP with specific goals and objectives
  • The SLP is reviewed monthly from the start date and monitored weekly with a certificated staff (SLP Consultant), parent, and/or the student

2. Supervision of Student Learning Plans:

  • The Home Education Exchange recognizes the parent as the primary instructor, facilitator, and mentor for the student. The parent/s must participate in the design of the student’s personal education plan, approve the final student learning plans, help provide and implement the instruction, and participate in the assessment and evaluation of the learning. A parent or adult designee must be on campus when the student attends classes and activities at the Home Education Exchange facility. The Home Education Exchange staff facilitates the process of attaining the education goals in partnership with the parents and student.
  • At least once per week the student and/or parent will personally contact a Home Education Exchange certificated staff member to exchange information about the student’s progress on his/her student learning plans. The contacts may be face-to-face, via telephone or online two-way digital communication
  • Once per month the parent will record monthly satisfactory progress using the online WINGS database. Staff is available by appointment for the purpose of evaluating the student’s performance and/or to providing support for the student’s learning plan. The SLP Consultant will also assess the students progress and approve the monthly report.
  • Satisfactory progress will be determined by consensus of the staff, parent and student based on the student’s performance on assigned tasks, tests, presentations, effort and attitude. Full-time students will take part in the District’s annual testing program. If monthly progress is not satisfactory a new student learning plan/s will be developed by the parent/s and staff. If the student fails to show progress on the subsequent student learning plan/s new plan/s will be developed by the parent/s and staff, which may lead to seeking support in other programs.

3. Student Curriculum Fund:

  • A parent-directed per student curriculum fund is available to support the student’s education plan expended at no more than 1/3 of the annual total per trimester.
  • Funds may be used for curricula, materials, supplies, fees, and approved tuitions.
  • Curriculum support funds are based on the student’s learning plan and the amount is based on the student’s enrollment status.
