Education in the digital world is best achieved by learning systems that leverage emerging digital resources and engaged educators. These educators must serve as relevant and attainable moral examples who take responsibility for the academic and moral development of the learner while the instructional process is anchored in high-quality curriculum and delivered through technology.
The Early College High School Initiative in the United States allows students to receive a high school diploma and an associate degree, or up to two years of college credit, by taking a mixture of high school and college classes. This differs from dual enrollment, where students are enrolled in a traditional high school and take college classes, whereas early college students take high school classes in preparation for full college workloads. At early colleges, students also have fewer high school classes because some of their college classes replace their high school classes.
Our students learn in a personalized, mastery-based, blended learning environment where they progress independently through their studies with the teacher being their guide. This allows more one-on-one attention from the teacher in subjects where additional help is necessary. Students utilize a robust online learning platform component. Blended learning combines independent technology-driven learning activities with teacher-led instruction to maximize a personalized learning experience.
Mastery Based Learning is an instructional strategy, as well as an educational philosophy, that maintains that students must achieve a certain level of mastery prior to moving forward to learn subsequent information. If students do not demonstrate mastery at the testing stage, they are given additional support in learning and reviewing the material until a certain level of mastery has been attained. This cycle continues until the learner accomplishes mastery and then the student may move on to the next unit of information.
