BLOOM360 LEARNING COMMUNITY IS A NONPROFIT SCHOOL THAT PROVIDES A REFRESHING DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH TO EDUCATION THAT RECAPTURES THE JOY OF LEARNING FOR CHILDREN WITHNEURO-DIVERSE NEEDS.
COMPLETED OUR THIRD ACADEMIC YEAR, EXPANDING OUR UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL MODEL THAT PROVIDES A DEVELOPMENTALLY-BASED, WHOLE-CHILD FOCUSED PROGRAM FOR LEARNERS (STUDENTS) AGES 5-21 WHO DO BEST IN A SMALLER, SENSORY-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT WITH PACING THAT IS ALIGNED WITH THEIR NEEDS. THE BLOOM360 EDUCATION MODEL TRACKS WITH COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR ACADEMIC SCOPE AND SEQUENCE, BUT PACES WITH LEARNERS BY FOCUSING ON BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, HARNESSING STRENGTHS AND INCORPORATING THE FIVE KEY AREAS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, BODY, SPIRIT (JOY & PURPOSE) AND MIND TO SUPPORT LEARNERS IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR GROWTH. THE UNIQUE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING APPROACH INCLUDES EXTENDED EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WITH WILLOW CREEK RANCH (THERAPEUTIC RIDING CENTER) AND THE SCHOOL'S WOODSHOP, ART CENTER, SENSORY GYM, MUSIC THERAPY PROGRAM AND FULL KITCHEN. IN THEIR THIRD ACADEMIC YEAR (2019-2020), LEARNERS MET 28 COMMON CORE STANDARDS, COMPLETED 22 INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS AND TEN SCHOOL-WIDE PROJECTS. ONE SCHOOL-WIDE PROJECT INCLUDED LAUNCHING A MICRO-BUSINESS BAKERY CART. EVERY LEARNER PARTICIPATED IN AN AGE AND DEVELOPMENTALLY-APPROPRIATE MANNER WITH THE PLANNING, BAKING, MARKETING, SELLING AND VOTING WHERE THE MONEY RAISED WOULD BE DONATED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. IN THE SPRING, DUE TO COVID-19, THE SCHOOL MOVED TO VIRTUAL CLASSES FROM MARCH 30TH THROUGH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IN JUNE. LEARNERS ADAPTED WELL BASED ON THE STRONG RELATIONSHIPS AND TRUST THEY HAD DEVELOPED WITH THEIR LEARNING GUIDES (TEACHERS). IN A FOLLOW-UP SURVEY, PARENTS RATED THE SPRING VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM, VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT, WITH 100% SATISFACTION IN USING THE GOOGLE CLASSROOM PLATFORM. TO EXPAND OUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT DURING THE PANDEMIC, SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE BLOOM360 TEAM HOSTED TWO ONLINE WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS RELATED TO OUR APPROACH TO GUIDING CHILDREN THROUGH TIMES OF BIG EMOTIONS. THERE WERE 12 NON-BLOOM360 PARENTS WHO ATTENDED THE SESSIONS WHICH RECEIVED EXCELLENT REVIEWS IN FOLLOW UP SURVEYS. OVERALL FOR THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR, LEARNERS ADVANCED AN AVERAGE OF 1.2 POINTS ON THE SEVEN-POINT SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL GROWTH SCALE TOWARD MASTERY OF THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED GOALS. LEARNERS ALSO ACHIEVED ACADEMIC PROGRESS IN THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING PLAN (DLP) AS MEASURED BY THE FOUR-POINT SCALE OF UNDERSTANDING: 1. INTRODUCTORY, 2. EMERGING, 3. PARTIAL AND 4. CONFIDENT. THE LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO EQUIP LEARNERS TO BE PREPARED FOR INTERNSHIPS, COLLEGE, MILITARY SERVICE, WORK AND IMPORTANTLY, BEING A WELL-ADJUSTED, CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THEIR COMMUNITY.
