At iLEAD AV, we issue a Report of Progress (ROP) for each child. An ROP might be compared to a traditional report card. However, instead of recording letter grades, we record a learner’s growth based on how consistently the learner applies academic and social-emotional skills at each determined point in the year.

An ROP has three major components: the progress and/or grade component, the narrative component, and the social-emotional component.

The first component of the ROP is the progress and/or grade report. This is an overall snapshot of the learner’s progress with concepts, skills, and standards. Each learner will receive a progress descriptor as shown in the legend below:

The second component of the ROP is the narrative report. The facilitator writes a narrative for each child. Caregivers highly value the narratives, as they gain a true understanding of their child’s progress and educational experience. We supply the narrative progress report because we recognize that each child is unique and that a checklist approach cannot fully demonstrate or assist a child’s development. The narrative report gives a more detailed description of the child’s work and choices of work and demonstrates to families and learners that the facilitator understands and cares about each child.

The third and final component of the ROP is the social-emotional report. The iLEAD curriculum emphasizes development of independence, initiative, responsibility, confidence, social awareness, cooperation, concentration, helpfulness, and commitment to work. Our ROP combines the current learner outcomes (based on the 7 Habits) and the Character Lab Program, which focuses on each learner’s strengths, skills, and mind-sets.

If you have any questions regarding the ROP at iLEAD AV, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s facilitator.

Prior to returning to school Tuesday, January 10, it is recommended that learners and staff take a COVID-19 test. Before the break, we distributed COVID-19 rapid tests for all staff and learners to take home. If you did not receive one, you can pick one up from the school Monday, January 9. We suggest taking this test on Monday, January 9. Please report any positive learner tests to the school office on Tuesday, January 10. There is no need to report negative tests. Note: The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is recommending wearing a mask for 10 days after winter break.

Hello Exploration Families, 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  Thanks to everyone that came to our MultiCultural Feast prior to Thanksgiving.  It was so wonderful to have so many of our learners and their families gather and share food from different countries.  

This month we have lots of fun activities planned for your children, plus coffee for parents, too! Remember to swing by for Coffee with Tina and Terri on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 9 am.  We want to hear your thoughts and ideas and answer any questions you may have.

Also, the last workshop will be held next week on Tuesday, Dec. 6.  Workshops will resume after the break and a sign-up will be sent.

Thanks again for your wonderful support of our program!

Warmly,

Terri Budke

Director North LA County Exploration
