about us
Is VISION HCP for Me?
The VISION Program Does
- Provide consulting and support in all program areas
- Help find resources for curriculum choices and provide limited funding for approved materials
- Offer access to various classes and Educators to supplement the learning plan
- Do what is necessary to assist in developing a successful learning program
The VISION Program Does Not
- Make decisions for the Learner regarding educational choices
- Act as a traditional school and make curriculum choices for Learners
- Act as a traditional school and provide teachers on a regular basis to teach course content
- Do for the Learner and family what they can do for themselves
The Delta County School District requires that full-time learners must have a minimum of 360+ hours per semester, part-time learners 90+ hours per semester of instruction outside the immediate family, and kindergarten age learners 90+ hours per semester of documented learning time.
Please Answer the Following Questions
- Will I, as the parent/guardian be available to the Learner an average of 4 hours per day, 5 days per week to be the primary educator?
- If not, can I make plans for someone else to fill the role of primary educator for my Learner?
- Will the Learner have reliable transportation to participate in outside learning hours?
- Has the Learner demonstrated sufficient motivation to continue his/her education in a less structured environment?
- Can the Learner be happy in a learning environment with less social contact than a traditional classroom? In other words, will the Learner be okay not being around his/her friends each day?
- The VISION program requires a variety of enrollment forms, on going documentation of the learning process, and accountability for funding. Am I willing, and do I have the time, to complete the paperwork required by the program? (Approximately 3 hours per month per Learner)
- Do I have, or am I willing to develop, a system that will keep my records organized and available for scrutiny by the Delta County School District and Colorado Department of Education if requested?
- As a public school participant the learner is required to take age appropriate standardized tests. Can I commit to participating?
