What is a Micro-Course?

A micro-course is a two week long "flipped-class".  Students only focus on one subject for the intensified micro-course period. During this time, the student will need to access all asynchronous material (teacher-made tutorials, handouts, lessons, activities, etc) through a platform provided by their teacher.  In the afternoon, their teacher will meet all students via Zoom Conference/ In-Person to discuss the material and to further their understanding.  Zoom time/ In Person learning is called synchronous learning time.  It is crucial that the student does the asynchronous work required to succeed throughout the micro-course.  

What is the Hybrid Learning Schedule?

Students have been grouped into "cohorts" to reduce class sizes during the pandemic.  You are either assigned to Cohort A or Cohort B.  Cohorted students attend in-person learning for 2 hours and 20 minutes and only on their designated days.  Email your advisor, current teacher, or office to find out which "cohort" you belong to.  Advisory will now be twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays at 1:50pm. Please contact the main office for further questions at  509-543-6796
