Self Paced vs Live Zoom
Self Paced Or Asynchronous Learning
With self paced learning students log into Google Classroom when its convenient and work on the class assignments. Each week will have a combination of summary videos, lessons, slideshows, vocabulary, online chapters to read, worksheets, interactives, crafts, diagrams, and/or labs to try at home. Students are encouraged to login on Mondays, and try to finish the weekly tasks by Friday. Each week will have 5-7 mini assignments that will take around 15-25 minutes each.
Students will upload sample images of their work using their home computer or the Google Classroom app. In addition, the instructor also using Flipgrid. Flipgrid is an online video response system, allowing students to upload a video response showing labs or projects.
Assessments will be completed on the teachers' Quizizz platform. When the student is ready, a code will be provided to take the online assessment. After the assessment the test will be graded immediately, with a score provided for families. Students can retake any assessments as many times as needed.

Live Zoom Learning Or Hybrid Virtual Programs
With our live Zoom program, families sign up for a group or 1-on-1 session. Upon registration, parents will be notified on the possible group or 1-on-1 times available. Hybrid classes meet once a week for 45 minutes. During the session a slideshow or teacher lesson is provided (dry erase, slideshow or whiteboard). Students will also take live assessments on Quizizz during the set time period. The instructor will also go over the weekly assignments in Google Classroom and help with any questions during the live session.
What are the dates for live group Zooms? After a family registers you will be provided a list of several group Zoom times, if you do not find a Zoom time that works for your schedule then the instructor will provide a 1-on-1 Zoom each week.
