Our Learning Management System (LMS) is an online integrated software used for creating, delivering, tracking, and reporting educational courses and outcomes. We use this to support the traditional face-to-face instruction, as well as blended/hybrid and distance learning environments. We use LMS software to plan, implement, facilitate, assess, and monitor student learning.
The use of LMS helps Nathan American to maintain the integrity of educational programs by enabling us to effectively and efficiently develop courses, deliver instruction, facilitate communication, foster collaboration between students, assess student success, and provide other learning resources for support.
Within the LMS our teachers combine/align standards with curriculum/resources and assessments, monitor students’ progress, activities, and other performance outcomes of targeted individualized student learning objectives and overall school improvement initiatives/strategies. Our teachers set the targeted individual student's learning objectives and provide them with immediate feedback on areas needing improvement.
