Self-Directed Learner (Idaho)

Tool Search: Self-Directed Learner

A Self-Directed Learner in Idaho is defined by Idaho Code 33-512D Self-Directed Learner Designation. Students in Idaho may demonstrate that they are self-directed learners and can qualify for added flexibility. Flexible learning may differ for each student and may include flexible attendance, virtual learning, and/or extended learning opportunities. To remain a self-directed learner, the student must meet criteria agreed upon by the student, teacher(s), and the student's parents or legal guardian (district-defined).

  • Be aware that reporting for Self-Directed Learners relies heavily on the dates the plan is active. Self-Directed Learners report only at the school for which their participation is active, and only if their plan is active within the report parameter dates.
  • Self-Directed Learner record dates may NOT overlap one another.
