STUDENT PROGRESS and PERFORMANCE
Monitoring
The resident district is required to monitor the participating student's progress through a distance education course via the completion of the Milestones. The procedure of how to monitor a distance education student’s progress and the frequency of this process is determined by the resident district and program provider. Obviously, it is recommended that students are monitored as frequently as deemed appropriate by both district and provider.
The completion of Milestones does not refer to the successful mastery of these objectives. A student may complete a course Milestone but not master the content presented or even pass the assignment. Conversely, a student may successfully pass a course without completing all of the Milestones presented. Therefore, it is recommended that the resident district monitors the student’s current grade (or other mastery indicators) and the completion of the Milestones.
Assessments
Students enrolled in distance education course(s) are not exempt from state or district assessments:
- The resident district will ensure that each student participating in a distance education course is evaluated, tested, and monitored at the same intervals as other students in their grade level and in accordance with the resident district’s assessment policies.
- Each student participating in a distance education course will participate in the Wyoming statewide assessment administered and monitored by a state-trained assessment administrator.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
Student performance, accountability, state and local assessment results, and adequate yearly progress (AYP) are the responsibility of the resident district.
Active Military Service
If a student is (1) enrolled in a WSN program and (2) the parent or guardian is on active military service, leaves the state of Wyoming, and maintains Wyoming residency, then that student is allowed to finish the distance education course(s) through the remainder of the current school year.
