we're excited to partner up with the teachers at school district 22's VLearn. the integration of EQ with VLearn will provide students with unprecedented access to 21st century learning. this personalized, hands-on, teacher-facilitated format will allow for tremendous student engagement and success in their academic and social pursuits. Also, and incredibly important at this time, students will develop significant skills in responsibility and self-regulation that is imperative for post-secondary education and 'real-life' challenges.
how it works:
students will enroll into EQ and VLearn for one semester. during this time, students will participate in 9-10 weeks of EQ expeditions spread throughout the semester while completing online coursework for VLearn in Biology 11, English 11 and both Physical Education 11 and 12. There are also opportunities to add additional courses to this list depending on the available courses and their relationship to EQ trips. It's all about things being personailzed to the student. This means that you can study where and when you want to. Also, dont worry about being away from school, you can always visit your home schoolto study and socialize.
now, because EQ trips offer incredible opportunities to learn in the field and discover things in a 'hands-on' way, students' coursework for the VLearn courses will be reduced and designed to reflect the EQ trips. so, you'll be getting credit for surfing, skiing, kayaking, hiking and learning while out with friends, being active and engaging in and with course content. it's all about experiencing what you're learning. everything is self-directed, but the VLearn teachers will be there for assistance to ensure that you're on the right track.
