Turning Points: A Parent's Perspective on High School Education

Finding a Path to Graduation at Sage Oak: Lydia Winslow’s StoryHost Tiffiny Webster interviews Sage Oak parent Lydia Winslow about her son Malachi’s journey after transferring to Sage Oak High School in his junior year to recover credits and get back on track for graduation. Lydia shares how he initially struggled to adjust to the workload and routine, how she helped him get organized with a daily schedule, and how he gradually became more independent managing Canvas, Zoom classes, and his time. She highlights the role of Sage Oak education advisors in planning his course pathway, choosing electives he would enjoy, monitoring progress, and making quick adjustments when a class wasn’t the right fit, along with tutoring and other resources. Now weeks from graduation, Lydia describes the relief and pride of seeing him reach this milestone and encourages other parents to consider the program and attend enrollment webinars.00:00 Graduation Isn’t Linear00:37 IEPs and Independence02:18 Meet Lydia Winslow03:07 Why They Transferred04:28 Finding a New Routine06:46 Advisor Support and Credits08:14 IEP Services That Work10:46 Graduation Day Emotions12:53 Advice for Other Parents13:58 Webinars and Wrap UpFor more information on High School enrollment visit our website www.sageoak.educationThank you for listening to the Sage Studio podcast presented by Sage Oak Charter Schools and hosted by Tiffiny Webster, M.A.Ed.  We invite you to follow the show and leave your review below.  Sage Oak Charter Schools is an independent study nonclassroom based TK-12 personalized learning public charter school serving students in Southern California.  Visit sageoak.education for more information.Sage Oak WebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTube
