Curricular Approach

Kelli Kilty described Phase 2 of our distance learning plan which launched this week and continues through the rest of the year.  Equitas’ distance learning plan aims to provide an engaging academic program that allows the opportunity for students to join asynchronously and synchronously where they can equally access what they need at the student’s own pace and schedule. Our program includes specific supports for our subgroups to continue to differentiate lessons based on their needs. The Equitas distance learning plan will consider families with differing needs and home structures.
