Special Emphasis. Heritage Academy will provide a solid foundation of knowledge that addresses a variety of topics. Although the curriculum will be generalized, Enrichment Cluster’s will allow each student to pursue personal interests and talents. Our emphasis is creating an individualized learning environment that helps each student reach his/her potential. Individuality is built into SEM through use of the Total Talent Portfolio (TTP). It is unique from many traditional assessment tools in that it focuses on strengths and “high-end learning” behaviors, rather than focusing on deficiencies. Portfolios use assessment tests and actual student work to determine student’s interests and learning styles as well as their cognitive abilities. These portfolios will include student directed improvement goals along with follow up and self-assessment, which will be added at the bi-annual parent, teacher, student conference. The portfolio will follow students throughout their education and will serve as a tool to document personal growth and achievement. The portfolio will include the very best things we know about each student. Heritage Academy will use this information to develop appropriate enrichment activities and develop an individualized learning environment based on each student’s strengths and talents. Heritage Academy will provide a solid foundation through adopted curriculum in the core content areas that will be a guide to help each student on a path of personal discovery. This knowledge will be given relevance when it is given practical application in enrichment. We value the individual. Every student has tremendous potential and talents. Our goal is to help students identify and build on what is already great within them Educational Goals; Compliance with Idaho Code Xxx. §33-1612 Title 33-1612 of the Idaho Code statutorily defines eight “thoroughness standards” used to define and establish the basic assumptions which govern the provision of a uniform public education.
