Type of School. IDVA is a statewide virtual public charter school created under the laws of the State of Idaho. This charter program has been in continual operation since the initial approval of the Charter by the Butte County School District No. 111. The school has never been involved in the conversion or replacement of any existing school. Educational Program. The IDVA curriculum is provided by k12 Inc. under the control and supervision of the IDVA Board. The curriculum is aligned with the Idaho State Standards. This dynamic curriculum includes an online school component as well as student work performed away from the computer using books, workbooks, a phonics program, math manipulatives science and musical equipment, and other materials that are shipped directly to the student. Idaho-certified teachers oversee the learning of each child in their class by reviewing student work for quality, accuracy, and understanding; by accessing students’ online academic records (including daily lessons and assessments); and by communicating directly with the student and family on a regular basis. Teachers also grade student work and are available during school hours via phone or e-mail when students (or adults) have questions. (See Appendix for Curriculum and Standards Alignment and information regarding k12.) Notwithstanding the virtual purpose and operation of the school, IDVA may engage in professional technical programs, either individually or as part of a consortium or organization of other public schools providing virtual technical education, in any and all modes of provision of educational services, including but not limited to virtual education, hybrid model of education and/or traditional school building/classroom setting. This exception to the traditional educational program is in recognition that varying professional technical programs may best be supplemented through a component involving hands on education. Staff and Administrative Composition. Administrative services are provided to IDVA through a Service Agreement between IDVA and k12, Inc. IDVA Board members are actively involved in the selection and evaluation of administrative personnel for the school. Certified staff will be employed through the use of contracts and in accordance with Idaho statute. School personnel are required to hold the appropriate Idaho teaching certifications and endorsements. IDVA teachers hold highly qualified status under No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) or are working towards this status ...
Type of School. Rolling Hills Public Charter School will be a public charter school, not a conversion or replacement of an existing school. Educational Program. Rolling Hills Public Charter School curriculum will be aligned with the Idaho State Standards and will contain both traditional academic subjects and additional world history and language areas that make the Charter unique. The Idaho State Department of Education’s curriculum serves as the starting point that is enhanced by unifying themes and creative teaching methods. The traditional core curriculum areas--language, arts, math, science, and social studies--are strongly emphasized. They are augmented by foreign language, a piano program, theater, art, health, physical, and environmental education. The language arts program uses the Idaho Core Standards to teach reading, writing, and spelling, and the Xxxxxxx Method to teach grammar. Its goal is to develop learners who are effective communicators, who love literature, and are lifelong readers and writers. Dramatization and memorization of accelerated vocabulary is a motivational aspect of the language arts experience. The science curriculum is a multi-year sequence that emphasizes hands-on experimentation and functional knowledge of scientific phenomena. This approach allows students to experience the excitement of science so they can better understand facts and concepts. Math will be taught through direct classroom instruction, including verbal drills, with Saxon math used for homework. Social studies will follow the basic elements of Idaho State Department of Education curriculum. We desire to instill in our students a love of local, state, national, and world history. Environmental education will emphasize an awareness of the critical relationships between the built and natural environments. Technology will be used to support a child’s natural way of learning through individual and group discovery and seeking solutions to real life challenges.
