Accelerate
Accelerate Education is the TVA provider for grades K-5. Accelerate will provide highly qualified, certified teachers for this program. Accelerate Education provides engaging lessons for students with a variety of activities.
Accelerate courses for grade K-5 will include the 4 core subjects (English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies) as well as "specials"/electives which vary based on grade level. If a TVA student wants to participate in specials at their elementary school, a parent/guardian must provide transportation. If not, TVA will provide online specials for the student.
Parents/Guardians will act as a learning coach at home to help students follow their pacing guide to stay on track and assist as needed with assignments. Support for parents/guardians as the learning coach are available from Accelerate including a Learning Coach Resource website. Weekly progress reports will be emailed every Sunday morning and each parent/guardian will have an observer account to log in and see pacing guides, teacher feedback, grades, and course materials. For grades K-3, Accelerate teachers will check in weekly with students and parents to confirm mastery and acquisition of material. These required "sync" sessions are scheduled with the teacher by the learning coach/parent. Additional live instructional sessions are optional.
There are some materials needed for Accelerate courses. Most materials needed are common household items and are expected to be supplied by the parent/guardian. To view a list of materials needed, see the lists under the K-5 Course List for each grade level. Workbooks for the core subjects are provided by Accelerate. These workbook pages can be completed online or uploaded as needed.
