I am a teacher (part-time) and homeschool parent at a Washington state Parent Partnership Program (Alternative Learning Experience) "homeschool" program through our public school district. This program partners local homeschooling families with certain school district resources, such as curriculum and teacher support.
As I have gone through the confusing process of requesting email support for homeschool access to purchased curriculum (Savvas Realize platform, MyView and Elevate curriculum), I'm wondering if there is a way to make this easier for other families in our program. I have ordered this curriculum for a handful of families in our program (as their support teacher assigned to them in our program). Unfortunately, I do not think that any of them have been able to navigate the emails and phone calls to finally be able to get the help they need to access the online piece of the curriculum. It is just to much of a hassle to get the online access.
We do need a homeschool type of option for curriculum as each parent homeschools their child individually at home, and we have a range of K-12 grades and all subject areas.
Is there a way to make it easier? Can our school provide simple usernames & passwords along with a simple access link directly to our homeschool families (to include a "teacher log in" for the parent and a "student log in" for the child)? It's frustrating that it has to be so difficult for our homeschool families to access.
