EdisonLearning eCourses®:
EdisonLearning uses proven methodologies to deliver the most engaging and innovative online courses on the market. Each EdisonLearning eCourse was developed by highly qualified instructional designers and certified teachers utilizing best practices fostered over a decade of online learning experience and 20 years of experience driving achievement in brick-and-mortar schools. The full EdisonLearning eCourse catalog offers sixth- through twelfth-grade online courses in both core and elective subject areas that can be used for a full virtual, credit recovery, supplemental, or alternative education, or for enrichment programs. EdisonLearning eCourses for high school are available in multiple course types to meet the needs of each learner and program including:
 
Foundation
Competency Based
Project Based
Honors
Credit Recovery
 
Each EdisonLearning eCourse is aligned to both national and Florida state standards and features learning objects in multiple means of representation and multiple modes of learning to meet the needs of each student. Students are presented course content through textual, interactive, and multimedia-rich learning activities and led through guided practice and formative assessments. EdisonLearning eCourses include both system-graded and teacher-graded assessments with a variety of technology-enhanced question types and activities at varying levels of rigor, as aligned to Webb’s Depth of Knowledge.
 
eSchoolware®:
EdisonLearning’s proprietary learning management system, eSchoolware, is an integrated software suite that serves as the foundation for a partner’s online learning program. Specifically, eSchoolware allows partners to:
 
Track, monitor, and report on progress or performance
Manage their online program including registration and scheduling
Facilitate communication and sharing between users
 
The key components of eSchoolware include:
 
System Portal: The portal is the user dashboard that centralizes all vital tools for students, teachers, parents, and administrators, allowing them easy access to everything they need from one convenient homepage.
Information Management System: The web-based information system is designed expressly for the administration of enrollment, courses, content, students, and instructors in online and hybrid environments.
Content Delivery Systems: Course Player is an engaging and interactive content delivery system used for the majority of our high school EdisonLearning eCourses. Course Player requires students to interact with content and assessments in a personalized forced progression of learning objects. Mastery settings ensure that a student has succeeded in meeting the objectives of a lesson before the next lesson is unlocked. Students are provided with additional learning objects when needed. MyDay is a content delivery system designed as the result of targeted research with middle school students. As with Course Player, students are provided with a personalized forced progression of learning objects through their daily task lists. Mastery settings are available at an institution and student level to ensure that students have demonstrated success with the objectives of each lesson before moving to the next lesson. Students are assessed regularly through a variety of games and traditional summative assessments. Traditional View is a simplified user interface that allows students to guide themselves through lesson content and assignments. Any EdisonLearning eCourse can be delivered in this view. A performance alert system is available to indicate when academic interventions are needed based on lesson and cumulative assessments.
Custom Course Builder: This application enables users to build their own courses by choosing specific lessons and corresponding assessments from our full repository of curriculum.
 
Central Service Instruction:
The EdisonLearning certified teacher serves as an online teacher for the asynchronous curriculum. The online teacher is responsible for providing students with quality feedback on all non-system-graded assignments. Teachers also provide supplemental support through a synchronous instructional tutoring platform. This support can also serve to provide interventions for students who have been identified by the software, teachers, and/or advisors as not meeting required progress, including proficiency levels. Students can access tutoring virtually or by dialing a toll-free phone number.
EdisonLearning certified teachers are expected to respond to students, families, administrators, and members of the student support team (e.g., case managers, advisors, and counselors) in a timely manner. This includes responding to questions or concerns as well as grading and providing feedback on student work. Teachers are expected to consistently provide effective, student-focused feedback on all relevant assessment items. All teachers participate in extensive training and ongoing professional development in constructing and providing effective feedback. Feedback is subject-specific and crafted to guide and support students in learning and applying the skills and concepts provided in the EdisonLearning eCourse lessons. Teachers employ rubrics to score student essay submissions and lengthier, multistep assessments.
EdisonLearning teachers are fully compliant with all laws, policies, and procedures surrounding Special Education modifications and accommodations, confidentiality, and the process for recommending students for Special Education testing. When asked, teachers attend and contribute to IEP meetings and participate in professional development to learn how to best serve students with special needs. When appropriate, teachers and instructional teams modify coursework and provide alternative means of assessing standards and skills for Special Education students.
 
Central Service Advisement:
Central Service advisors serve as a student and family’s primary contact. EdisonLearning’s advisement team strives to provide support in all three aspects of the student’s development (academic, career, and personal/social). To build rapport and consistency, a student remains with their assigned advisor for the duration of their EdisonLearning coursework. Unless otherwise requested, all siblings will be assigned to the same advisor. The responsibility of the advisor is to monitor student pacing, progress, performance, and attendance. Advisors communicate consistently with students, parents, and school staff via telephone conversations, email, and our internal messaging system. The advisor plays a crucial role in the student’s success, including examining and analyzing student needs from a cross-functional (academic and personal) perspective. The advisor helps the family create the student’s Personal Plan for Academic Success; is responsible for monitoring student performance across all subjects; and helps the student with pacing, quality of work, and attendance. The advisor has access to all pertinent information related to the student and uses this while communicating with the student and family to ensure data is up to date and conversations are authentic. Upon request by school districts or families, advisors will support college readiness and the application process to include information regarding college applications; the Common Application; FASFA, SAT, and ACT information; letters of recommendation; and scholarship opportunities.

Performance Accountability Information
Student and Course Performance Accountability Data from the 2017–2018 School Year:
Performance information from statewide testing for virtual students is reported directly to the student’s Local Education Agency or home district and is not shared or reported to EdisonLearning as an online course vendor.
 
Educator Performance Accountability:
All Florida-certified teachers are evaluated by the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model.
A major update took place in 2017, bringing forth the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model. This fine-tuned framework, developed in partnership with Dr. Robert J. Marzano, greatly simplifies evaluation and helps teachers develop their professional expertise over time. A concise set of 23 core teacher competencies:
Emphasizes a competency-based approach to observation and scoring
Increases fairness, accuracy of scoring, and inter-rater reliability
Keeps the evaluative focus on standards-based instruction and teacher growth
Provides specific desired effects, focusing on evidence of student learning
Recommends practical, workable procedures for implementation and scoring
 
                Growth Plan for Staff
Teachers and all staff members complete a Growth Plan once a year. The Director of Instruction and Advisement with the assistance of third-party contractors observe teachers and staff members monthly and conducts midyear and end-of-year evaluations. Student performance results are factored into each staff member’s evaluation, as indicated below in yellow.

Participation in Florida’s Statewide Assessment Program
The Florida Department of Education requires that all virtual students enrolled in EdisonLearning’s eCourses must participate in the Florida Statewide Assessment program. This program includes participation in end-ofcourse exams for the following EdisonLearning eCourses:
Algebra 1 (Students must pass this assessment to graduate)
Biology
Geometry
US History
 
It also includes participation for all ninth and tenth graders in the Florida Standard Assessment (FSA) English Language Arts assessment. A passing score on this assessment is required for graduation.
 
Some Florida school districts may also require that students participate in the Florida Assessment for Instruction in Reading (FAIR).
 
As an Online Course Provider, EdisonLearning does not administer Florida’s statewide assessments, but instead works directly with school partners to ensure that students and parents are provided with information about the testing and testing schedules. Students should coordinate their testing locations, dates, and times with their home school district. Additional information about the Florida Statewide Assessment Program can be found using the links below:
