Dear OHVA Parents and Community Stakeholders,

It is with great pleasure that through this Annual Report we share the many facets of Ohio Virtual Academy with you. Ohio Virtual Academy served approximately 13,000 students during the 2013-2014 school year. Staff and families worked together to meet the individual academic needs of OHVA students. Included in this report are the different initiatives that were provided to accomplish our goals. We appreciate the trust parents have placed in our school and are excited to be a partner in the education process of our students. We cherish the fact that we can partner with parents to provide an outstanding educational experience for everyone who attends Ohio Virtual Academy.

This edition of the Ohio Virtual Academy Annual Report seeks to provide an understanding of our academic achievements, student activities, finances and demographics for the 2013/2014 school year.

We continued to use Race to the Top and School Improvement Grant funds, as well as Title 1 and state funding to serve our students with an academic plan that provided an individualized approach. This included continuing to provide top notch curriculum and support to help students grow academically. Funds from these grant programs were used to provide supplemental programs such as Study Island and Writing. They also assisted in providing additional professional development for our teachers in quality instructional practices, data collection, and how to use this data to drive student achievement.

The 2013/14 school year was a year of continued change in reporting for the Ohio Department of Education. An official ranking will not be applied to our school until the 2015/16 school year. However, OHVA strived toward accomplishing all expectations. While challenged to meet all benchmarks set by the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio Virtual continues to endeavor to provide a high level of education for our students. While acknowledging the challenge we face to meet the expectations of the Ohio Department of Education, we improved in 12 academic areas and increased in our Performance Index from 87 to 88. Our desire for continuous improvement in our student’s proficiency will continue in years to come even as the expectations from ODE are changing. There are still challenges to be met but the students, parents and staff worked together to grow academically.

We continue to work fervently for our students and used many tools and interventions to help meet student’s individual needs. Student needs were met through the continuous use of high level instruction through ClassConnect sessions. Staff goals were set to meet with students in large, small and individual sessions to help remediate and provide academic instruction in reading, writing, math, history and science.

During the 2013/2014 school year OHVA continued to use well received programs developed throughout the past years. Our Credit Recovery program helped to provide specific guidance and support for students who entered high school behind in credits to graduate. Middle School Students were included in High School courses through the LINK program. The average passing scores for these students was 97%. Fourth through Eighth grades provided a synchronous teaching model which allowed students to work from the K-12 curriculum content with OHVA teachers providing instruction to the students. Satellite teachers helped provide interventions to our students in 3rd grade to provide the necessary instruction to seek promotion.

As always it has been a great honor serving the OHVA family and the OHVA team looks forward to continued partnership with the students and parents who are enrolled with us. I hope you find the remainder of this report provides you with an overview of Ohio Virtual Academy.

AIMSweb, an online assessment tool, provides us with a good baseline of where a student is at in the areas of reading and math. This is also utilized as our alternate state diagnostic assessment tool. Each K-2 student is assessed three times throughout the school year; fall, winter, and spring. If a student scores below or well below target they are provided synchronous instruction to support the student at their academic level and their K12 curriculum is adjusted in the areas of math, phonics and language arts to meet the student’s specific needs. Teachers provide daily classroom instruction in the areas of phonics and language arts in order to develop strong readers who can read fluently, comprehend what they read, and ultimately become strong writers.

OHVA K-2 teachers team teach in order to provide students with differentiated instruction and small group sessions in the area of phonics and fluency. Our teachers meet together once a week to review progress monitoring results and to discuss individual interventions for students who may need extra support. We progress monitored 1034 students with a total of 9,263 individual progress monitoring sessions during the 2013-14 school year. These progress monitoring sessions allow us to see if students are making growth in their areas of weakness. Overall, we had a 4% increase in the total number of students who met their Reading Student Learning Objective growth target from 1st semester to 2nd semester and a 5% increase in total number of students who met their Math Student Learning Objective growth target from 1st semester to 2nd semester.

During the 2013-14 school year we were able to provide our at risk K-2 students 1,600 Leap Frog DVDs: Letter Factory, Talking Words Factory, Code Word Caper, Math Circus, and Number Land. These DVDs provided additional practice and repetition building skills in the areas of letter names, letter sounds, blends, silent e, counting, adding, and subtracting.

Additional program resources our students utilized included Reading Eggs, a pre-reading and early reading skills program that presents letter recognition, letter/sound associations, and other skills in a fun interactive way. Our 2nd graders utilized Reading Eggspress designed to build reading fluency and comprehension skills for students with 2nd-7th grade reading abilities. Study Island Math where 77% of K-2 students completed 100% of their grade level blue ribbons. We also provided an Advanced Learner Program that had 291 participants.

The 3-5 team focused on strong academic instruction in Math, Language Arts and Writing. The teachers worked with students to strengthen their composition writing skills as well as their ability to respond to a written response question. Synchronous instruction students completed monthly math and reading written response questions with their teachers in class connect, receiving direct feedback. Asynchronous students completed these questions monthly and submitted them to the teacher for feedback. Learning Coaches were also given the scoring rubric and writing resources to more effectively work with the students during daily instruction at home. Several units from the Composition Curriculum were taught in live class connect sessions to guide students through the writing process. Teachers focused on instruction in the grade level standards correlating these with lessons in the OLS curriculum during their weekly class connect sessions.

3-5 held a “Drop everything and Go to the Island Day” in February. It was a day designated to work all day in Study Island to complete lessons and earn blue ribbons. Teachers opened their classrooms for the day to tutor students in Study Island lessons, hold contests and host rewarding activities. The Principal even made her way through all of the classrooms throughout the day to cheer the students on and participate in the class activities. Everyone wore their beach gear and submitted photos of how they converted their schooling space into a tropical island! These pictures were posted on our OHVA website for everyone to share in the wonderful school spirit! We were able to earn 9000 Blue Ribbons in one day! One fifth grade class earned 352 Blue Ribbons and as a result, had a popcorn and literature party with the Principal.

Our STAR program served grades 4-7 with daily direct instruction from the math and ELA components of the curriculum, allowing students to complete their daily lessons while in class with their teachers. This program is offered as an option to our students in 4th through 7th grade. Learning Coaches and students can choose to participate in this synchronous instruction program. Students that participate in the STAR program are able to mark OLS lessons complete after they participate in class daily.

SIG Skills Academy was offered daily for one hour in the morning with a repeated session in the late afternoon. Academic content standards were the focus of the grade level class connect sessions. The hour long session was divided into direct standard instruction in math, reading, science and history based on grade level requirements and opportunities for students to work on Study Island lessons with live guidance from a teacher. All of these sessions were recorded and made available to all students in the respective grade level.

The 2013-2014 school year was a time of strong academic growth for middle school students at the Ohio Virtual Academy. Middle School is a time of transition for students and as middle school teachers we are always striving to prepare our students for future success. Last year, as part of this preparation, we began using letter grades. Student grades were based on individual students’ progress in the OLS, Study Island assignment completion, and monthly writing samples. The completion of these three components of our curriculum is critical for academic growth. The monthly writing samples included instruction in our live sessions, student work samples, and constructive teacher feedback. Teaching our students to demonstrate their knowledge through writing was a top priority at the middle school for the 2013-14 school year.

As part of this conversion to letter grades, students received an informal grade report at the end of the first semester to allow students and learning coaches to review progress in all courses. This gave students an opportunity to make any needed improvements during the course of the second semester. This initiative was enormously effective across Middle School and we received positive feedback from our families. Relationships built through frequent communication between teachers and students was the key to the making this successful transition.

We continued the effective practice of using a master Class Connect schedule to guarantee that no live sessions were overlapping. This schedule ensured that students could attend sessions that were relevant to their academic needs. Teachers provided quality Class Connect sessions each week that included Math, English, Science, and History. As part of our extended day program students were offered additional support through Math Zones, Grammar Zones, History Zones, and Science Zones. These extra support sessions provided students the opportunity to work one-on-one with highly qualified teachers. Additionally, teachers held data driven small group class connects weekly. The small group classes gave teachers a chance to work closely with students who needed additional support or to provide enrichment classes.

During the 13-14 school year the middle school introduced Strong Start Goals to support students’ success. Strong Start goals are comprised of the following: student completion of the Welcome to Online Learning course, the Individualized Learning Plan – Getting to Know Scantron course, Scantron Math and Reading Performance Assessments, and the creation of the ILP. At the Middle School, we feel that these Strong Start Goals were key to starting students on the path to a successful school year.

The 2013-2014 academic year was an exciting and challenging time at the high school. In addition to welcoming a new 11th/12th grade principal, Kyle Wilkinson, we also were thrilled to hire 16 new teachers to support our students’ achievement. In an attempt to keep up with the ever-changing and growing world of education in the state of Ohio, we also expanded our daily teaching (ClassConnect) schedule to include daily sessions for students in grades 9 – 10 in the core subject areas. We also expanded our day to include sessions before and after classes for Focused Instructional Time (FIT) sessions which filled a need to provide more in-depth instructions for students requiring additional support. In addition, our Special Education team was able to join us as “Co-teachers” in the areas of Math and English to provide additional support to all students within their general classrooms. Although we did see a drop in our overall Report Card scores, we were able to increase our success rates in credits earned for the entire school from 68% to almost 75%. Students with Special Needs led the way in their improvement with more than a 10% gain in credits earned from the previous year.

We are always thrilled at the amount of time our teachers are able to connect with our students in AND outside of the virtual classroom. This year we had more than 10 virtual clubs that involved hundreds of students. Not only do these clubs (like Harry Potter, Cooking, and Equine) provide some downtime and fun for our students, but they also provide an opportunity to make connections and engage in leadership roles as most of the clubs are student-led with a teacher mentor. In addition, our National Honor Society remained strong with 82 members this year and worked hard to provide Face to Face events for our students such as the Spring and Fall dances in which more than 500 students traveled to Columbus to meet their peers and teachers. National Honor Society students still remain true to the goal of the club and provide service and leadership within their local communities as well. Our digital student journal, Virtual Ink, collected writings from 25-50 students from grades 9-12 and was published in a digital format so that all of our students and families could enjoy reading the creative works. Click to enjoy for yourself! http://joom.ag/gXXb

Our Science Department went beyond its virtual walls to help students experience science “hands on”. One event in West Liberty at the Ohio Caverns included 8 teachers and approximately 60 participants. Parents and students were lead through the caves to learn more about the development of the cave including its current environment both inside and outside of the cave as well as the changes that are taking place inside the cave. In addition, tour guides presented students with a wide variety of geologic history of the area including the change in the environment due to glacial activity in the past. Students were also exposed to a many different rock and mineral types on the tour. The high school science team also hosted its 6th annual Fantastic Fridays event at Columbus State University. It was opened up this year to all students 7-12 grade. We had approximately 45 students participate. Ten science teachers attended this event. This event is a face to face opportunity where students receive hands on lab experience lead by college students and professors. Each year students are given a variety of different lab opportunities. It allows for students to practice lab safety in a lab environment as well as learn science with an inquiry based approach. During this series of labs, students learned about forensic science and the various tests and techniques used by scientists in this field. In addition, students conducted a chemistry experiment to determine an unknown acid and base.
