Georgia Virtual School provides accommodations in the online environment for students with an IEP or 504 plan. In order to have accommodations implemented in an online class, Georgia Virtual must receive a current copy of the student's IEP or 504 plan each semester the student enrolls in a Georgia Virtual School class.
Special Education documentation may be faxed by the student's school to (770) 357-3704. Georgia Virtual School staff will work with the local school to determine if placement is appropriate. In some instances, accommodations listed in an IEP are not conducive to the online environment.
Georgia Virtual School does not accept Response to Intervention (RTI) plans. However, our online courses are setup in a way that automatically provides many of the interventions commonly called for in RTI plans. Below are just a few of those interventions:
- monitoring of individual student progress by teacher, facilitator, and parent
- personalized and descriptive feedback for all student work
- opportunities for differentiated instruction based on a variety of learning styles
- one-on-one access to the teacher.
