Power Learning Goals
Available at select schools only.
Families select the textbooks, learning materials, and other resources that meet the needs of their child and are aligned to Idaho Content Standards. The objective is for parents to use the materials they are teaching, aligned to PLGs, as artifacts and not have to provide materials outside their curriculum.
As students work in their curriculum, Idaho Home Learning Academy (IHLA) asks parents to address the school’s Power Learning Goals (PLGs) in each subject area by selecting one PLG to report on every two weeks.
Parents will submit a document indicating which PLG the student has completed for that assignment, along with artifacts for each PLG. Artifacts could include, but are not limited to, student work, scanned worksheets, pictures, and audio or video files.
The student’s mentor/teacher will review the PLG form each submission period and confirm that the artifacts are aligned to the PLGs.
