Learning Mentor
Academic Excellence Online provides an opportunity for students to take courses online. Parents ARE REQUIRED to serve as their student's online course "Learning Mentor" or else authorize a mentor to serve in their place. Learning Mentors are parents, guardians or other adults responsible for the day-to-day learning and study habits of the student. While students may work independently, this is not an independent study program. Students must stay on our curriculum pace so support at home is essential. With the help of AEO teachers, Learning Mentors help plan and organize the daily learning experiences and environment for the students. As the Learning Mentor, you are expected to perform the following duties:
* Communicate weekly with your student
* Communicate as needed with AEO teachers and staff
* Monitor regular progress and current status within the course
* Monitor attendance (sufficient hours and progress over time)
* Make efforts to provide a safe, effective and appropriate space for study
* Communicate any concerns you have with AEO teachers/administrators and guardians
* Assist in making the student available for state testing (transportation)
*NOTE* An email address for the Learning Mentor is required in order for the student to receive initial start-up instructions.
