A Typical School Day

It’s a Wednesday morning at 8:30am and John, a 3rd grade student, sits down at the workspace tucked into a corner of his family’s living room with his mother who serves as his learning coach. John logs onto his school provided computer and is immediately viewing his course dashboard. He reviews the To Do list for the day, as well as the live conference class sessions scheduled for each course. His mom helps him plan for what tasks to tackle first and she heads to the other room to make a work call.

*Schedules will vary by student and teacher.
