Alternative education programs were established as an option for students
having difficulty succeeding in a traditional school setting. The child is
removed from the general school population and placed in either a special
classroom setting or a special school. The NCLB (No Child Left Behind) standards
require that this child continue to receive all his/her core curriculum classes
from a "highly qualified teacher." In addition, most educators are also faced
with shrinking budgets and overcrowded classrooms. The need for workable
alternative education solutions is ever pressing!
School districts are always under pressure to hold costs down while meeting
NCLB (No Child Left Behind) standards, which in many cases means that the budget
for classroom funds gets cut. Although budget cuts certainly affect teachers,
the greatest impact is on the students, who may not have the opportunity to
learn new subjects, such as languages, art, and music. Core curriculum classes
are usually never omitted due to budget constraints, which
means that although students will learn their math, science, and English,
they may not have the opportunity to expand their horizons into the arts and
social sciences.
Alternative Education Solutions That Make Sense
In many schools, educators are using the CameraWATCH Alternative Education
Solution to help not only meet the NCLB standards, but also help the student
continue to learn and grow with his peers. This solution is set up in each
classroom providing instruction for the alternative student in another location.
Our exclusive scheduling software, Link Director establishes a call between the
teacher's classroom and the student. This enables the student to view the class
in real-time and removes the burden from the teacher to learn new technology in
order to provide for the student.
Another bonus to alternative education solutions is that students can take
part in enrichment activities such as field trips and district-wide projects
that otherwise they would not be privy to without this technology. At CameraWatch
Corporation, we believe every student has the right to a top-notch
education, which is why we offer the highest quality technology products and
services. Please contact us at 1-866-420-4232 regarding e-Rate discounting, as
your school may be eligible to receive some government help with the costs of
this distance learning technology.
