Welcome to our Virtual Special Education Program. In this unique online program, we create a team that will help your child build the academic, social, and emotional skills that will allow them to thrive in the years to come. 	Online learning allows flexibility and brings education into your home. This environment allows learners more time to be creative and take risks, which they may miss in the traditional classroom. 					 	Together, we can build significant gains in the foundational skills necessary for the future of our society! 	My name is Dr. Shelly White and I have been an educator for 26+ years. As your child's teacher/coach, I not only teach basic fundamental skills, but incorporate creative pathways that students need to think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively. 	Some assignments use technology, while others take a hands-on, project-based approach to a task. I believe it is important for students to learn self-advocacy skills to communicate their needs. Similarly, students need to see solutions from different perspectives and collaborate flexibly. 	 	 This resource will assist you in navigating the programs we will use and ways you can tap into your child's learning. Ready to learn more? Dr. Shelly White

The home base for all students is our learning management system, Schoology. Student-run announcements, links, session times, and some asynchronous assignments are found here. Students begin their day with a check-in and complete a check-out after the day's assignments are completed.

Sessions are held through Microsoft Teams. We expect our learners to enter a session with their microphones muted and cameras off until the session is ready to begin. Once the teacher invites the learners in, students keep their cameras on in order for teachers to see active participation and engagement.

"I absolutely love the Virtual Special Education Program and Dr. White. Over the past 3 years, this program has helped Jaiden tremendously in many ways. Jaiden has gone from being unable to read to reading books like Harry Potter and Holes. 	I have watched his progress with his math skills with amazement and his self-confidence and creativity have soared. When we first began this program I would not have imagined we would be where we are today! 	 	Virtual has definitely changed the course of Jaiden's education in the best way possible. I will be forever grateful!" Heather, parent

Multiplication by Heart Tutorial

Multiplication by Heart&nbsp;flash cards can help you master multiplication facts and achieve true fluency, with just a few minutes of practice per day. Every card has a meaningful visualization that can help you understand different ways of representing multiplication: from repeated addition to arrays or prime factorisations. New cards start in box A. If you answer a card correctly, it moves to the next box, otherwise back to box A. Every day, we will pick between 20 and 40 cards for you to solve: some may be new, and some you may have seen before. The delay between seeing the same card again increases as it moves through the boxes. This process is called&nbsp;spaced repetition, and helps ensure that all facts reach your long term memory.&nbsp;

Mathigon is our go-to for virtual manipulatives. Our students split their screens and use this platform alongside their math assignments.

"Virtual learning has been amazing for Dylan's focus, as he is easily distracted in traditional classroom settings. The teachers are readily available to address issues or answer any questions Dylan may have. He has the opportunity to take breaks in between classes or work, preventing the workload from becoming overwhelming. Virtual learning allows Dylan to truly learn and engage with the subjects, rather than go through the motions in a crowded classroom. Dylan enthusiastically shares what he is learned with friends and kids in his scout group, sparking meaningful discussions about various subjects." 									Mary, Parent
