  1. Four Models Possible IDLA Uses in Jr. Highs

  2. 1. The High School Model Reasons to take IDLA courses include: (i.e. reasons TFSD will pay for the course) • Take a class not available on your campus • Make up lost credit • Amend a scheduling conflict • Earn concurrent college [HS] credit • Prepare for the ISAT [ACT, SAT] • Review for the AP exams [prepare for AP] from TFHS Registration Guide 05-06 p.55 [shows amendments]

  3. Resources Needed: A computer at the back of a teacher’s room to be used during a class or A mini computer lab with an adult assistant The Autonomous Learner Model Type of Credit: Elective: to offer a course not available on campus Core: Taken in the summer at parent’s cost so they can make room in their schedules for more on-line electives during the school year Core: Taken in the school year because the advanced level is not offered at the school 1. The High School Model

  4. Resources Needed: A computer School mentor One period not scheduled Alternate work when the on-line course is finished Type of Credit: Core: Parents pay This may be through IDLA or HS credit given through on-line universities 2. The School Mentor Model

  5. 3. The Compacting Model After students are given a short time to study the next chapter, they are given a test to see if they have reached mastery. If so, they can work on the on-line course.

  6. Resources Needed: A computer in the Core Classroom The Autonomous Learner Model Type of Credit: Elective: a course that allows investigation into a subject of interest to the student and requires application of skills learned in the compacted class Core: an advanced course, the same subject as the compacted class, that builds on the skills learned in class 3. The Compacting Model

  7. 4. The Team Learning Model A team of 3-5 students take the same IDLA class at the same time. Created to meet these needs: • To be with other GT students Where intensity is accepted and valued • To Allow Content Acceleration Breadth: going faster means more content covered • To Allow Content Enrichment Depth: going faster means many details about one idea are explored

  8. 4. The Team Learning Model • To Promote Social Skills Allowing students to work as a team and develop synergy, feeding off each other’s ideas • To Teach Leadership Skills Understanding roles and working towards goals (7 Habits by S. Covey) • To TeachThe Positive Aspects of Competition

  9. Resources Needed: A bank of computers An adult assistant Possibly lab materials Type of Credit: An elective course for which each team member has a high interest 4. The Team Learning Model
