Verticy Advisory Teaching Service

Enhance your academic experience with Verticy Learning's signature optional service, the Advisory Teaching Service.  Your student will be assigned a personal educational specialist that will guide the student and parent through the school year.

One substantial benefit of this service is that the students of Verticy Learning will receive appropriate accommodations for their ability level.  For example, when an Advisory Teacher grades a Verticy student's original composition they evaluate the content of the writing rather than focus solely on spelling and handwriting errors.

ATS offers personalized instructional support at a great value. Eight times through the year, the Advisory Teacher evaluates a set of tests-one in each subject area-to assess your child's academic performance and offer individual guidance and encouragement. While you are the most important influence on your child, ATS adds the following elements:

• Assistance developing effective teaching strategies
• A partner to reinforce the observations and instructional priorities that you, the home teacher, have set for your child
• An evaluation of your child's work in all subjects, giving detailed feedback on composition, mechanics, and processing skills
• Motivation for your child to do his or her best work to earn positive reinforcement from the Advisory Teacher
• A personal letter from your Advisory Teacher sent with each set of corrected tests
• A certificate of completion and a transcript (available upon request)

Read-Aloud ATS

As part of the Advisory Teaching Service, your Advisory Teacher will listen to your student read using the Read-Aloud ATS feature. Simply have your student call the ATS recording service on the telephone.  Your Advisory Teacher will listen to your child reading assigned material and provide feedback.
