State Rep. Ryan Hatfield (D-Evansville) has received the “Emerging Leader Award” from the Indiana Farm Bureau.

In presenting the award to the legislator, Farm Bureau President Randy Kron and Justin Schneider, the group’s director of state government relations, said Rep. Hatfield’s interest in issues that regularly face rural Indiana is keen and his willingness to learn more to benefit agriculture statewide is helpful.

“He is someone I have been able to engage in debates about the legal issues that surround various legislation of interest to the Farm Bureau,” Schneider said. “He is accessible and a diligent worker on policy issues.”

Farm Bureau officials credited Rep. Hatfield for his work on legislation affecting broadband expansion in rural Indiana. The lawmaker played a key role in settling some legal concerns about the proposal.

“I am grateful to receive this recognition from Indiana Farm Bureau,” Rep. Hatfield remarked. “I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of Indiana’s vital agricultural industry, including expanding broadband into every square mile of our state.”

0

Online learning has opened up a world of opportunities for students, and the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Virtual Academy is definitely a part of that. Today, the EVSC’s Virtual Academy was notified it was selected as one of a handful of online programs that will provide online courses as part of the Indiana Course Access Program (iCAP).

iCAP, a pilot program offered through the Indiana Department of Education, is designed for school districts who cannot offer certain courses for a variety of reasons. Those districts will be able to select from certified course providers, such as the EVSC Virtual Academy, to offer needed courses in their schools beginning in Fall 2018.

In order to be selected as a provider, the EVSC Virtual Academy submitted information pertaining to each course offered as well as detailed information on how teachers instruct and lead each course, validation of each course and more.  The Indiana Department of Education reviewed each submission and ultimately selected the EVSC Virtual Academy has a provider of six courses, including College Career Prep, Computer Applications, Math of Personal Finance, Multicultural Studies, US & Global Economics and Business Law and Ethics.

“This is truly a testament to the great work we are doing in the Virtual Academy and it validates the results we are seeing with our students,” said Janet Leistner, director of the EVSC Virtual Academy. “Being selected by the state of Indiana for the iCAP program further demonstrates that the EVSC Virtual Academy is one of the best online programs in the state.”

About the EVSC Virtual Academy:
The EVSC Virtual Academy was created in 2010 and since that time, nearly 4,000 students have earned one or more credits through the Academy. In addition, 35 students have graduated from the EVSC Virtual Academy in the past two years since the program began offering its own diploma.

The Virtual Academy provides online learning for students in kindergarten through grade 12 that are taught by licensed teachers. In addition, teacher involvement in the EVSC Virtual Academy is paramount and sets the program apart from other online learning programs.
