ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA VIRTUAL ACADEMIES: The California Virtual Academies (a network of 9 public charter schools) delivers online/virtual home-based instruction to TK-12 students in California. We use Stride curriculum as the basis for instruction and teachers provide live instruction via the Newrow platform. While our schools do offer some scheduling flexibility, students are still required to log attendance, attend instructional sessions, and complete coursework daily. In the DCA @ CAVA, we believe in collaboration across content areas and embrace a Project-Based Learning model. The WBL Specialist requires thorough knowledge of employment techniques, methods, and procedures used for effective job search to match students’ abilities and skills to work based learning opportunities.
