John begins his day by logging into a live Homeroom session led by his teacher. His Success Coach and Guidance Counselor often join his homeroom sessions to do activities. The last time his Success Coach joined, they did a lesson on identifying your interests and passions. On days when John’s teacher runs homeroom, she often uses the time to review the plan for the day/week, practice some basic schoolwork, or complete a community-building activity.

After Homeroom, John starts an independent English Language Arts Activity in his ELA course. He clicks on his ELA course card and starts working on the modules for the day. John reads a short story, clicking on hyperlinked vocabulary words to hear definitions and pronunciation as he reads. He works on spelling and vocabulary words for the week, including a vocabulary quiz. Today, John also has a Short Cycle Assessment to complete in ELA. This assessment is a brief test covering 1-2 specific standards and provides his teacher with standards-level mastery data. These assessments are repeated. The teacher uses that data to inform small group live sessions.

After ELA wraps up, John takes a quick snack break. When he returns to his computer, he opens his Art Course Card and completes today’s activity, which is a lesson on symmetry in nature. After learning about symmetry in the human body, John will make a symmetrical face mask.

With ELA and Art completed John takes a break for lunch. After lunch, John and his mom go outside to play basketball for 20 minutes. When he comes in, his mom reminds him to open his PE course card and enter that time in his Offline Tracker, so his teacher can review and approve it.

Now it’s time for Math. John clicks on his math course card, clicks on the Conferences tab, and clicks on the link to his session. He will soon be in the web conference room with his classmates and teacher.  Today, they will be working on division.
