Based on a concept of a classroom without walls, the community and the world become the students' classroom. A credentialed teacher employed by Visions meets with students regularly to monitor progress, provide educational assistance, and assess achievement. The Visions in Education Charter School office, counseling center, and technology support center are housed at 6939 Sunrise Avenue, in Citrus Heights. This site is a bustling center of activity. Staff Ethnic diversity and ability to work with difficult students are part of the criteria used in hiring teachers.
Teachers provide caring, individualized instruction to meet the needs of all students.
A credentialed teacher visits student homes to monitor the daily work of students, to assess as needed and to offer advice to parents on the next assignments. The teachers also advise the student's parent on instructional strategies and activities. Teachers typically work with five to 10 students. Many of the teachers have been home-school teachers for most of their careers. Some of the teachers are retired from full-time teaching assignments.
