another mutually agreeable setting. IAE is moving away from that model. It is felt students are better served by requiring them to come to a Resource Center at least one day per week. At the Resource Centers there are computers, calculators, TV/VCRs, cassette recorders, reference books, materials, and much more. The nature of the student assignments will require them to research, experiment, investigate, and report what they have learned.

When to Access
Students will have to demonstrate that they can read and comprehend at the 4th grade level or higher to qualify for IAE. Students will also need to show that they can work independently and are motivated to make progress. Board policy states that students must complete at least 75% of the work assigned each week to remain on IAE. IAE primarily serves junior and senior high school students. Under IAE a Master Agreement is developed with input from the student, the supervising teacher and the parent/guardian. This is very similar to an Individualized Learning Plan. This agreement provides for the student’s involvement in an alternative learning experience through a course of study aligned to the California State Frameworks and the San Bernardino County Alternative Education Performance Standards. IAE may provide service to students beyond the academic area. Many students and their families may need referrals to and information about community services, counseling and job programs. Alternative Education teachers also provide guidance to students concerning reinstatement procedures to LEAs as well as GED and CHSPE preparation.
