Activity at the GEC

There is so much going on at the Grant Education Center; the home of the Riverside Virtual School. New students are roaming the halls (both the virtual and brick-and-mortar variety) as summer school classes begin. Over 1,200 requests for enrollment were made for online summer school courses during our first summer school session. These include three pilot courses, Algebra I, Geometry, and Physical Education. The mathematics courses utilize artificial intelligence software, which measures student understanding of the required content prior to delivering individualized instruction to specific student learning deficits. We anticipate this personalized learning will provide more productive "time on task" and result in positive student achievement gains over time.
