The Educational Services Department has held two of the six scheduled Roadshows. A few common questions regarding the work of the Steering Committee have emerged. As I begin to compile an FAQ document, I thought I would share the two most frequent questions here.
Q: Is the Academy meant for our highest performing students? A: No, the Academy is developed to service ANY student who is seeking an opportunity to learn in an environment driven by their unique needs and interests. Yes, this includes students with IEP's.
Q: Will involuntary transfers be used when staffing the Academy? A: No, there will be an application process developed for any interested internal or external candidate.
As a reminder, the overall vision of the Steering Committee is:
To create a continuum of personalized learning experiences for all Kaneland students including:- infusing LDIP instructional practices into all units of study at all grade spans
- creating structures that infuse components of personalized learning into all Kaneland schools
- investigating school-within-a-school opportunities
- creating a stand-alone IgKnighter Academy school, to run in tandem with the typical Kaneland experience
