*Licensed teachers are mandatory for full-time AEA students that want to receive a diploma only.
Homeschool, full-time and part-time students have the option to select their tutor/mentor who will guide him or her through the curriculum. Your counselor will help you decide which model is appropriate for your needs.
Teachers monitor student progress through the learning management system and work actively with
students and mentors to advance each child’s learning. Teachers assess student learning and employ
effective and appropriate online teaching and learning strategies to communicate subject matter to
students, including plans to meet diverse student needs. Some of the specific expectations for Academic Enrichment Academy’s teachers include the following:
• Teachers send an introductory email to students upon enrollment with email, phone number, and link to sign-up for a 1:1 synchronous session.
• Teachers respond to all emails within 24 hours.
• Teachers are in regular contact with the mentor at the local district.
• Teachers post regular announcements in their courses to keep students engaged.
• Teachers offer regular office hours for student questions.
• Teachers ensure students are active in their courses.
• Teachers involve mentors for any students who are not active in courses.
• Teachers are available to students daily from Monday through Friday.
• Teachers provide academic support (via email, phone, zoom) as requested.
• Teachers provide synchronous sessions through Zoom.
• Teachers grade submitted work within 72 hours.
• Constructive feedback is provided on all written response assignments and on any assignment
that is scored below passing.
• Feedback is substantive and provides additional resources and support, including videos,
websites, and instructional aides to support learning.
• Teachers provide accommodations for students as outlined in IEP or requested by the mentor.
• Teachers are made aware of any student having special needs.
Academic Enrichment Academy’s teachers work with various student clubs for students to participate in a range of club activities online. After-school clubs are vital in shaping a student’s character and skills, preparing them for their future career. Clubs are essential for enhancing creativity and bonding amongst students. At any time, students may request a session with a teacher/tutor. All online synchronous sessions hosted by AEA’s teachers will be conducted via Zoom
