Insight Schools of California (a network of three public charter schools) delivers online/virtual home based-instruction to students in grades 9-12 in California. Insight Schools of California serves at-risk students. We use Stride as our curriculum provider for the basis of instruction and teachers provide live instruction via the Engageli platform. While our schools do offer some scheduling flexibility, students are still required to maintain daily attendance, attend instructional sessions, and complete their coursework each day.

All staff members provide students with individualized attention, maintain ongoing communication with learning coaches, and attend professional development meetings (virtual and in-person). Insight staff members contribute to a positive school culture by engaging in meaningful team collaboration and focusing on the needs of all students. Staff members also meet with students during testing and at in-person events.

Academic Growth Advocates manage and support an assigned caseload of students who have been placed on academic probation or referred by teachers for extra support by forging positive relationships through regular meetings and sending back on track plans to help students pass courses. Additionally, they facilitate and contribute to RAISE Team initiatives including orienting new students to Insight, conducting family outreach, creating videos, hosting Strong Start family meetings, monitoring student participation, and handling other items designated as part of the RAISE program.

High School Academic Growth Advocate (RAISE Team)

Virtual schools are new models in public education. They look both backward to what we know works well in educating children, and forward to see how technology can help us implement these strategies with children. Virtual school staff are part of a pioneering effort. Our support staff, therefore, need to share the School’s pioneering mission and approach.

Academic Growth Advocate will assist students with academic learning by providing strategic services that identify and address course progress struggles that interfere with the educational process. This position responds to academic course progress directly and works both virtually and in-person in the community with families. The Academic Growth Advocate works collaboratively with staff, and teachers to create back-on-track plans to support students who need additional assistance with organizational strategies and academic progress assistance.
