CWOLA is full-time online learning, which means it is home-based. This gives parents additional responsibilities for providing instructional support, monitoring student engagement and progress, and communicating with teachers if your student is struggling. All CWOLA courses are grade-level specific and may not address already existing gaps in a student’s skill set. It is important that a parent or guardian:
- Provide the organization, structure and motivation a student needs by establishing and managing the online school daily routine
- Support the student with navigating technology and the online learning platform as needed
- Monitor student learning and comprehension of content--support the learner with clarification and encouragement
- Helps monitor attendance and ensure that the student completes and attends all required tests
- Communicate with the student’s teachers and attends all conferences and/or office hours if support is needed
- Provide ongoing guidance and encouragement
- Encourage social activities outside of online school
