This schedule is referred to by a variety of names, including hybrid schedule, collaborative model, or a university-model schedule. In this model, students’ instructional time is divided between classroom and home. Classroom instruction occurs 2 days per week (K-3rd) and is led by a professional educator. On non-class days, the students remain at home to complete their lessons under the guidance and instruction of a parent.
The lesson plans for the entire week are developed by the classroom teacher and are made available to parents at the start each week, allowing the parent and teacher to work in tandem to complete the requisite assignments. It is a beautiful picture of efficiency and teamwork!
In our Collaborative model, students have two traditional days, one learning day at home and a flex day each month for extracurricular activities.
