Curriculum > Course Structure

The e2020 7-part instructional model is designed to teach, apply, practice, and assess. This model reflects the learning styles research from Bernice McCarthy (4MAT) and involves a team of master-level teachers, instructional designers, and content-area experts to develop a standards-based course. Reading, writing and listening skills are taught and reinforced through our integrated approach.

The session begins with a vocabulary activity and direct instruction video lecture led by a certified teacher in that content area. Students progress through the lesson with a series of reinforcement activities such as journal writing, lab simulations, and on-line content before being assessed.

  • Prescriptive, formative and summative assessments Students receive randomized test items that are aligned to the lesson's objectives even after customized content changes are made.
  • Individualized study plans Create an optional prescriptive curriculum that only assigns the content that has not yet been mastered.
  • Direct Instruction A highly-qualified teacher in every lesson presents content in video-lecture segments and visual whiteboard displays.
  • On-demand feedback Students receive immediate feedback during activities and can track progress and performance on their home screen.
  • eWriting and eNotes Using the Six Traits of Writing rubric, writing and note-taking opportunities are integrated into each lesson.
  • Show Me Tutorials Students can elect to receive additional support from a new teacher-tutorial during homework practice.
  • Integrated online content Media-rich sites supplement additional content to apply concepts, engage learners and extend instruction.
