Individualized Instruction Program

Students learn best when instruction matches their personal interests and abilities. The mission of Great Lakes Learning Academy (GLLA) is to help each student maximize his or her potential and meet the highest performance standards through a uniquely individualized learning program. At GLLA, we’re committed to retaining the best state-certified teachers available and to giving them all the resources necessary to help each student succeed. In fact, all our teachers are recognized as Highly Qualified under the guidelines of the No Child Left Behind Act. They are trained and experienced in online learning and virtual classroom management.

Each GLLA student receives individualized instruction, including lessons tailored to that student’s academic strengths and weaknesses. This is the personalized learning approach—a dynamic process that begins by evaluating each student’s strengths and needs. Teachers and counselors are then able to develop focused, customized approaches that work for the student along with the curriculum—all year long.

When help is needed, online teachers may modify instruction or lessons, provide meaningful ways to practice skills, and offer helpful resources. They may arrange to work with a student in a small group or even one-on-one. This personal attention empowers students in virtual school to do their best and to achieve their goals.

GLLA teachers work together closely and talk regularly. They share best practices, subject matter tips, teaching methods, and more. For families working with multiple teachers, these teachers can coordinate efforts to meet the student’s needs.

The bonds that teachers at GLLA build with their students are deep and strong. Often, teachers get to know the entire family well. These relationships enable teachers to make truly meaningful, life-changing connections with their students.
