JEDI (Jefferson Eastern Dane Interactive) Network is a consortium of
nine school districts in Dane and Jefferson counties that works
cooperatively to provide high-quality distance learning opportunities for
students. Jedi Virtual High School harnesses the power of anytime,
anyplace delivery of classes for students using emerging technologies.
There are three key components that differentiate JEDI Virtual High
School from existing Wisconsin virtual schools:
1. Each student meets with a certified counselor to develop a personal
education plan.
2. Each student is assigned a learning coach to guide the student on a
daily basis. The coach is under the direction of a certified JEDI
teacher and lives in close proximity to the student in order to
maintain personal contact.
3. Asynchronous virtual courses are created and taught by master
teachers from within the JEDI network consortium.
