HOW IS D.I.C.E. DIFFERENT FROM INDEPENDENT STUDY and home instruction?
Students in the Independent Study program are seen one hour weekly during which time the teacher assigns and records work. Students are expected to complete large amounts of homework each week with little academic support. The students enrolled in D.I.C.E. need more direct instruction, supervision, motivation, and individualized attention than is offered by the Independent Study Program. Home Instruction is an alternative program for students confined to their homes due to physical disability, illness, injury or confinement for psychological or psychiatric reasons. Instruction is provided by a teacher in the student’s home or at the library. Students in the Home Instruction program are served 4-6 hours weekly, depending on their academic, physical or mental health status. How many students are in D.I.C.E.? In the past 5 years D.I.C.E. has served more than 200 students per year and graduated a minimum of 27 students per year.
