Insight School of Oklahoma Begins 2017-18 School YearStudents at Insight School of Oklahoma (ISOK), a full-time online public school authorized by the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board, will begin their 2017-18 school year on August 14. ISOK is an alternative school serving at-risk students statewide in grades 7-12. ISOK offers families and students an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar education. Students attending ISOK come from diverse backgrounds, many of them struggling at a traditional brick-and-mortar school before finding ISOK. The comprehensive education approach provided by ISOK focuses on providing struggling students with the academic, social and emotional support needed to reach graduation. The school features block scheduling, where students can focus on fewer courses at a time, and offers online programs to help address students' academic challenges and the family's needs. "At Insight School of Oklahoma, we strive to help students who are struggling academically get back on track," said Sheryl Tatum, head of school at ISOK. "Our goal is to unlock every student's potential by addressing each of their real-life needs and inspiring them to succeed." State-certified teachers work with each student and family to develop an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) to place students in the appropriate courses, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and create a plan to chart their progress. High school students at ISOK enjoy a weekly advisory period to build strong relationships with classmates and an advisory teacher, and a Social and Emotional Learning program ensures students are ready to learn by increasing their self-confidence and interpersonal skills. In addition, the school's Family Support Team includes a licensed social worker and other family support personnel to help students stay on track. ISOK is still accepting enrollment for this fall.
