District outlines Remote and Project-Based Instructional Time Models, says internships tracked separately
Summary
At the May 8, 2025 hearing, the district's Chief Education Officer described the Instructional Time Model filed with the Arizona Department of Education as composed of Remote Learning and Project-Based Learning components and said internships/externships have historically been tracked separately and need not be included in the ITM.
Dave Dirksen, Chief Education Officer for the Coconino County Accommodation School District, told the governing board at a May 8, 2025 public hearing that the district files an Instructional Time Model each year with the Arizona Department of Education and that the filing covers two components: a Remote Learning Model and a Project-Based Learning Model.
Dirksen said the two components are distinct parts of how the district documents instructional time and programming for the state. President Cheryl Mango-Paget asked whether internships and externships fit into the PBL model; Dirksen said historically they have been separated and do not need to be included in the ITM.
Mr. Hauer added that tracking forms were updated during the last year and that the work program and internships now use the same form, which should help documentation and recordkeeping. There was no public comment during the ITM discussion.
