Dear Harmony Families,
We are pleased to announce the new IHLA Portfolio for the 2022-2023 School Year. Below you will see the details of this program. If you have more questions, feel free to contact your Teacher of Record.
IHLA Portfolio Description for Course Catalog
IHLA/Harmony Portfolio courses offer individualized study while students learn grade-level topics.
Throughout the school year, students demonstrate their competence through a compilation of a comprehensive portfolio. The portfolio should include the grade-level work that the student has worked on and should be saved throughout the year. The Portfolio learning logs and assessments will be reviewed and scored monthly by your teacher.
With IHLA/Harmony Portfolio courses, you will receive a handbook, a submission schedule, and a grade-level outline to guide your lesson activities.
