Method(s) of course procurement
All curriculum course work is provided by K¹², Inc., a Herndon, VA based company. Campbell County School District #1 and the Campbell County Virtual School contract with the above company to provide a full slate of elementary curriculum courses for students in grades K-6. K¹² nurtures inquisitive minds with the simple approach that Big Ideas + Consecutive Down Payments + Practice = Mastery. Throughout our K through 6 course offerings you will find certain recurring themes that build on the previous grades' teaching and weave an ever-richer tapestry of knowledge. Our individualized approach means students can go as fast or slow as they need to. And with more than 700 lessons per subject, they can dive deeply into areas of interest.
Each lesson is created by a team of experts at K¹² , using tried and true educational approaches for instruction. Our six core courses —Language Arts/English, Math, Science, History, Art, and Music —can be taken separately for supplemental learning or enrichment, or combined into a full-time schooling option. The lesson plans for each subject are integrated, so students may be reading literature from the same time period as the art or history lesson they are studying—what begins as a story about a king who lost his wife may end up with an examination of the architecture and history of the Taj Mahal, built as a monument to a dead queen.
Finally, the K¹² curriculum brings lessons to life with a rich mixture of on- and offline teaching tools, including interactive animations, award-winning printed books with beautiful illustrations and narrative, original CDs and videos, and materials for hands-on experiments. Lessons are followed by assessments so each student can master a particular area before moving on, and built-in planning and progress tools make it easy to keep on track.
Course evaluation and improvement
Each year, CCVS staff members jointly create the Student Achievement Improvement Plan (SAIP) after analyzing our performance on standardized tests both in the current and previous school years. The SAIP guides our improvement efforts for the current school year. The SAIP is reviewed by CCVS and K12 Inc. staff throughout the school year.
Our data management system generates and stores real-time achievement data, analysis and subsequent reporting of results, and the variety of assessments used to monitor both academic achievement and teacher performance.
CCVS conducts a systematic analysis of instructional and organizational effectiveness as a basis for improving the school. WYVS uses assessment information effectively for making improvement to its program.
