Accommodations in a University Model® School: An Examination of Policies and Practices Addressing Student Needs for Families Considering a Blended Educational Setting
Walters, Chelsey; Baker, Alesha
Journal of School Choice, v14 n3 p468-500 2020
Students attending a University-Model® school participate in a hybrid approach to education which combines homeschooling with private education. This allows parents a primary role in their child(ren)'s education with the guidance of licensed teachers. The question of how students' academic needs are addressed in this model remains unexplored. This case study examines policies and procedures surrounding possible accommodations for students with and without a diagnosis. Researchers conducted interviews with staff at one school along with a document analysis. Policies were found to be inconsistent in 84 randomly sampled University-Model® schools on a national level. The sample school proved to be one of the sites providing accommodations for students.
