HERO develops in students a love of learning and exploration to last a lifetime.
Technology shouldn’t get in the way of teaching. HERO is a proven robust solution for empowering students to learn - and teachers to teach. Teachers adjust projects and paths to individual students, assist as mentors and experts, and evaluate. Students are active participants in choosing the path of their education. Collaborating across the network to engage in rigorous online projects, with multiple supports to ensure success in learning.
Learning standards for each project and progress towards course completion and graduation are visible to teacher, learner, and administrator alike. All projects are cross-curricular, giving a greater opportunity to work and earn credit in more than one subject area at the same time. Adding HERO Way 6-12 Grade Curriculum aligns all content to state, national, and international accredited standards.
Students pick a version of a project that peaks their curiosity, and teachers can direct or limit that choice by creating pathways. Teachers can meet individual needs of students by editing or adding scaffolding to the material. HERO changes to fit the needs of each student - because education isn’t a one size fits all.
