The Step-Up Enrichment Program at Saint Vincent College is a program open to all families who are actively home schooling or cyber schooling children in grades PreK - grade 12. Home study students from the surrounding area may choose to participate in as many as three enrichment courses designed and taught by college students who are enrolled in the teacher certification program and supervised by faculty. The courses will be held on-line via Zoom during the Fall 2020 semester. Each course consists of eight weeks of bi-weekly instruction of approximately 35-40 minutes. The college students will be taught by an instructor who is an expert in on-line instruction. There will be many interactive tools that our students will be using in each course. Courses will be engaging and collaboration and social interaction will be part of each course.
The goals of the STEP-UP Program are to:
1) Offer assistance and support to home-school families in meeting instructional needs to meet requirements for their specific curricular goals.
2) Encourage a collaborative learning experience through group projects with other home-schooled and cyber schooled students in the area.
3) Enrich the learning experience of nontraditional students through a variety of interesting enrichment units taught by college students in the field of education who aspire to be teachers.
