Important Announcements (September)

Dear Founding Families,

It’s important that we acknowledge you as Founding Families. Truly, you are more than enrolled members of LiftEd! You are pioneers with us as we learn and grow in important ways this first year. The information below is certainly evidence of that. Rarely, will we be moving so quickly to learn and adapt as we seek to understand how the LiftEd experience can be more effective for you and your students.

Below, you’ll find a list of important updates and improvements that will go into place as early as this coming Monday. Please read through, or listen to this more detailed explanation by Peter Knecht, Director of AHS Worldwide. (https://youtu.be/9rarGi5_O0w).

Updates/Changes:

  • Explore Time moving to 10:00 AM; Class Time moving to 9:00 AM. (Monday, Sept 26)
  • Coach Yahosh is returning to StartRight! (Tuesday, Sept 27)
  • LiftEd coaches being reorganized to place coaches with levels they engage with best. (Survey will decide when this takes place)
  • First “unit” Africa Celebration coming up on Monday, Sept 26! Celebrations will follow each two-week unit.
  • Combining two Mountain Time Level 1 classes so we can create a third Mountain Time Level 3 group.
  • All Level 1 classes have been reduced to 40-minutes; effective immediately.

Important improvements:

  • You can now leave personal video messages for your children! You can also forward the invite link to friends and family!
  • Review game has improved significantly, but we have a lot more improvements forthcoming, including opting out all together if desired.
  • Research videos and Reason & Relate videos will have common controls for fast forward, rewind, skip ahead or back, full screen, remember view location, etc. (next two weeks)
  • Students will be able to share reactions and sending messages to other students following leaving their own video responses.
  • Explore interaction coming during Research and/or Reason & Relate videos to allow students to explore deeper if they choose. (within two weeks)
  • Explore Time will begin 10 minutes before class and video cameras will be enabled so students can chat before “class” as they countdown to the review game. (next two weeks)

Again, you can view and listen to a much more detailed explanation about the logic and feedback that informed these decisions, here: https://youtu.be/9rarGi5_O0w
