Students will complete work at their own pace with the belief there are no failures. There will be a teacher to support students in mastery of content, but content learning will be provided through an online platform. Students will work on all assignments until mastery is achieved and a passing grade will be awarded. Classwork is consistent with reading assignments, written assignments, and Edgenuity software.
