2 Introduction Charter schools have changed education all around the world. Some parents don’t know what a Charter school is. However, a Charter School is a public school funded by the state. Students with a special learning disability can enroll. Knowing if the school has an accreditation can contribute to a parent's choice. While it has been encouraged that education is a physical learning place, it is important to consider a Charter School for education. What is a Charter School? A Charter School is a public school that has free tuition. Charter schools have to get approved by the State Department of Education. The authorization allows the school to educate students in grades TK to graduation from high school. The Schools receive funding from the state to run the approved Charter School. Charter Schools contract with education vendors to provide different options for ordering curriculum. The funding is used for learning supplies used in a classroom setting. Each family is assigned a teacher to verify your work samples, testing, and teaching questions. Does Charter Schools provide Special education? Charter Schools are required to follow the same federal laws and regulations as traditional schools. Charter schools have to accommodate students with special education needs. Once a Physiologist tests a student, they create a report that is discussed with the parent, general education teacher, and Principal. If the student qualifies for special education, the school creates an Individual education plan called an IEP. The IEP will allow the school to assign the student a Special education teacher who will meet with the student weekly to work on the goals that the student needs to work on. IEP goals can be for English, Math, Writing, Speech, and Occupation
3 therapy. The school will hold an annual IEP meeting to confirm if goals were met in the weekly classes held by the special education teacher. What Accreditation Does Charter School Need? Charter Schools need accreditation just like traditional schools. The Accreditation is with WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges). Having WASC as the accreditation gives parents peace of mind, knowing their students receive the best education. Full accreditation for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges includes an in-depth evaluation of structure (Business Wire, 2013). WASC provides leadership and staff a way to teach an online base school with curriculum guidelines. These guidelines ensure that the student is graduating and ready to continue their education at a University or a trade of their choice. Conclusion The main takeaway from the research process was learning the correct way to find a source that can be used to support your topic. Understanding literacy skills helps you collect the correct information and organize your thoughts. In academics, you have specific rules to follow for every class module. You also use literacy skills for work, knowing how to complete daily tasks. Problem-solving and communication are essential in all aspects of life. In my personal life, I can use this research to decide whether Charter Schools are the right fit for my kids. We use information literacy skills in different ways of life.
