January 22-28 is National School Choice Week, a time to celebrate the fact that families get to choose the learning experience that best serves their children.
What is school choice? School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. Some children might succeed at the neighborhood public school, while others might fit in better at a charter, magnet, online, private or home learning environment. That’s why school choice is so important! These options include all forms of education, from traditional public schools, to public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling.
Every child deserves an effective, challenging, and motivating education. And, because each student has their own unique set of talents, interests, and challenges, having a variety of options in education is crucial. What works well for one child may not work well for another child! In short, school choice ensures that each student can find a learning environment that allows them to be inspired, successful, and happy.
Thank you for choosing iLEAD Antelope Valley to be such an important part of your life! Happy National School Choice Week!

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.
