Schoolwide Learner Outcomes: Lifelong Learners

At iLEAD, we believe that education should extend beyond traditional academic knowledge. Our purposeful approach revolves around the iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes, a collective vision that encapsulates our aspirations for each individual’s education.

The iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes serve as our compass, guiding us in shaping each child’s educational journey.

In the course of a child’s career with iLEAD Schools, our learners will engage with a relevant and rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for success personally and professionally.

The following are the expected Schoolwide Learner Outcomes that our learners develop:

iLEAD by being a/an…

Lifelong Learner

I am a self-directed learner, focused on personal growth and development.

Empathetic Citizen

I seek to understand and appreciate what others are thinking, feeling, or experiencing.

Authentic Individual

I am true to myself, my personality, values, beliefs, and principles.

Design Thinker

I am a creative, imaginative individual who explores original ideas, takes risks, and develops innovative solutions that I share with others.

Our focus this month is Lifelong Learners. This article has several tips to help you cultivate a love for learning in your child:  “Nurturing Lifelong Learners: Cultivating a Love for Learning in Your Child.”

iLEAD AV Exploration K-2 Amira Benchmark Assessments: September 15-19

This year, iLEAD AV Exploration has partnered with Amira Learning in support of our readers. Amira is a digital reading tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to assess learners’ reading mastery and coach them through new reading skills. Here is an overview of Amira for families like ours who are using the platform at home.

During the week of September 15, our school will administer Benchmark Assessments through Amira to grades K-2 so that we can:

  • Assess learners’ reading proficiency levels
  • Screen learners for potential risk of dyslexia
  • Identify individual learner’s areas of need or additional support

In addition to taking the Benchmark Assessment, learners will also use Amira’s “Practice” mode to strengthen their reading skills. They will read out loud, receive interventions and support, and talk about the story they’ve read to build their comprehension skills.

Amira is a program committed to AI safety for learners. Amira uses AI to select from a predetermined set of interventions and responses. Amira does not pull from the internet and cannot respond to learners outside of the curated options vetted by humans. All learner data is protected and owned by the district. Our team has been thoroughly impressed with their efficacy data and work with education researchers to develop the best product for learners.

Based on the information from Amira’s assessment and practice components, it’s possible we will contact you about additional support and resources for your learner. We appreciate your partnership as we help our learners become stronger readers!

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your EF with questions.
