TCHS Course Catalog
21f Online Learning
The State of Michigan, under Section 21f of the State School Aid Act, has launched the choice for parents to request that their student(s), in grades 5-12, be enrolled in no more than two (2) online courses in place of a currently scheduled course.Tri County Area Schools supports online learning and as a district; we pride ourselves on innovative uses of technology to support learning. Keeping in line with our districts motto of helping every child achieve their best future, our goal is for academic accomplishment and student growth. We do, however, encourage parents to consider carefully if a 100% online course is ideal for their child given the fact that they will be forfeiting face-to-face interaction with a teacher.
Parents should carefully consider the unique qualities of their child when deciding if an online class is right for him/her. These factors include:
Can your student self-advocate to seek help within a virtual setting?
Can your student create and maintain a study schedule without the face-to-face instruction of a teacher?
Does your student possess independent study habits needed to complete an entire course online without direct supervision?
Does your student have the reading, writing, math and computer literacy skills to succeed in a class that is completely online?
Prerequisite: Permission of Counselor
Course Description: An interactive teacher directed internet-connected learning environment, in which pupils are separated from their teachers by time/location. Beginning the 2015-16 school year, all 21F courses will be granted a letter grade.
