Crossroads uses a blended learning model that incorporates self-paced learning inside the classrooms. Self-paced instruction is any kind of instruction that proceeds based on learner response. Self-pacing in the classroom allows students to progress at a pace that suits the learner. Learners who work at a fast pace have the opportunity to gain competency quickly. Learners who perform at a slower pace have the opportunity for repetition without being pushed ahead too quickly.

Self-pacing is flexible but requires time management for submissions and meeting deadlines. In order to facilitate completion of the current year's curriculum by the last day of school, all work has target dates.

Being intentional, managing class and home time, asking for help, and adjusting as needed, are essential for success in self-paced learning.

Students are expected to stay on pace by completing their assignments throughout the duration of their course(s) by attending campus or virtual class regularly, scheduling one-on-one tutoring, and preparing ahead. Failure to adhere to these expectations may adversely affect learning and ultimately a student’s grade.

For the self-paced classroom to be effective, CCS teachers help monitor the students' level of understanding to determine whether immediate re-teaching or acceleration is necessary. Since grades alone are not always an indicator of a student's understanding, each student should make us aware when they are struggling with a concept or ready to move forward.

For whatever reason, content that a student failed to learn, can easily be assessed to reveal student misconceptions or errors in understanding, thus clarifying which content to reteach. Our teachers present previously reviewed content using a new method or approach to help our students master core concepts and elevate their learning to the next level.

CCS students have numerous opportunities for review, remediation, or academic acceleration. Parents and students need to collaborate and experiment to determine what is most effective for them and notify student services as soon as possible with requests to revise their schedule and adjust their pace.
