The Edgenuity virtual instruction program (VIP) courses are designed to reflect research-based instructional practices to meet the needs of all students.  Their courses feature rigourous, explicit instruction led by expert, on-screen teachers, as well as allowing district teachers to incorporate their own uniqueness to the course.  It includes courses with challenging content, relevant activities, adaptable formative and summative assessments and real-time feedback.  Their curriculum is aligned with the Common Core and other state standards and the curriculum has been approved by the Florida Department of Education. 

Clay Virtual Academy offered Edgenuity virtual instruction curriculum to CCDS district students 6th-12th grades in the 2019-20 school year.  CVA will have the opportunity to use various virtual instruction curriculums to meet the graduation requirements.  This year, we are not looking at paying a large curriculum fee up front, but to pay per course, after grace period. 

Clay schools had purchased Edgenuity curriculum to use for credit recovery, during the COVID 19 crisis, and to utilize the mental health courses for all CCDS 6th-12th grade studnets. CVA also used Edgenuity for the 2019-2020 school year. 

Students will continue to use the Edgenuity curriculum on account of engaging teacher lead videos and interactive lessons. 

Teachers have the ability to differentiate lessons within the current content of the program to help meet the needs of individualized students.

Edgenuity reports generated will assist all stakeholders to be able to monitor and address student progress and needs.
