Students come to KECOS at different levels of academic readiness. We remove barriers to learning by delivering a personalized learning experience, so each student receives the support they need to excel.

This content is aligned with the ACTFL level of fluency and is made to make student knowledge advanced. The readability levels and appropriateness of the level are carefully reviewed and approved by a group of reviewers.

The course provides opportunities for students to engage in higher-order thinking, critical reasoning activities and thinking in increasingly complex ways. It also provides options for the instructor to adapt learning activities to accommodate students’ needs. Each lesson includes multiple opportunities for students to explore, apply, practice, and confirm their learning. Students are encouraged to visualize concepts through interactive modules and videos. This active learning approach develops critical thinking skills crucial for success in college and beyond.
