"I strive to create a productive learning space for non-traditional learners. As a non-traditional learner myself, I take an interdisciplinary approach to education and wanted to expand and develop methodology that embraces this idea.

Math is a language, and we get to further discover what our natural world is telling us when we know how to understand it from different perspectives. I draw from parallels between verbal reasoning and mathematical reasoning for the makings of a unique teaching approach that capitalizes primarily on pattern recognition. The strength of a student's learning experience is dependent on their ability to make connections across disciplines. This not only contributes to their overall mental flexibility, but this approach also welcomes non-traditional ways of thinking about math and the world around us. Feel free to reach out with your inquires at any time. I'm happy to help!"

I offer basic overview of theJapanese language including the following components: 1. Instructional support for reading, speaking, listening, and writing. 2. Formal instruction of the Hiragana, Katakana, and Japanese adaptation of Chinese Kanji. 3. Colloquial as well as traditional methods of speaking. 4. Cultural norms in Japan

All art classes meet the Alaska State standards for visual art instruction. Classes are designed to run the full school year to include all the curriculum has to offer for the standards required. Moosewood Art Studio students will posses a high degree of visual literacy and intellectual curiosity about visual art and the creative process. My focus will be to recognize, affirm and support a child's emerging individuality, and help strengthen a child's sense of self through art-making. * Students will create art that is inspired by famous and emerging artists' work, experiment with different mediums and have fun, in a relaxed and professional studio environment. * Students will learn a combination of drawing skills and techniques. Drawing is the foundation for all visual art. An emphasis will be placed on personal exploration and creative growth, in a supportive atmosphere. * Students will learn the elements and principles of art making and be able to recognize these elements in principles in their own work, the work of their peers in the class, and the work of emerging and famous artists. * Students will learn the correct process of critiquing artwork. They consist of the 4 steps: describe, analyze, interpret, and judgement. Only after thorough exploration into these steps can a student understand what the artist's meaning and reason is behind his/her work.

Welcome Future Instructional Partner!

As a model of excellence in personalized education, MCS partners with over 300 Alaska businesses, offering a rich assortment of learning opportunities for students.

We are grateful to community members like you who are committed to partnering with MCS to provide quality instruction.

Direct Pay vs. Reimbursement...What's the difference?

We have two pathways for community members to become Instructional Partners with MCS; choose the one that best fits your business:

Direct Pay

(Officially referred to as a Professional Services Contract) As a Direct Pay Instructional Partner you bill MCS for student services & supplies and MCS in turn, pays you directly.

Parents prefer this method, as they do not have to pay out-of- pocket and await reimbursement .

Requirements for this contract include:

  1. PSC Application
  2. AK State Business License
  3. Interested Persons Report (Background Check)
  4. Provide copies of your certificate of insurance along with specific endorsements.
Direct Pay Questions? Contact Linda Stotler, Henry Henson

Reimbursement

A reimbursement is money paid back to parents out of their student’s allotment for items or services they have purchased out of pocket.

The parent pays the vendor directly and is later reimbursed from the student’s allotment.

Requirements for this contract include:

  1. Application
  2. AK State Business License
  3. Interested Persons Report (Background Check)
  4. Pass vetting process (Review by highly qualified professional)
Reimbursement Questions? Contact Gena Chastain

Helpful Forms, Links & Documents

These links will help you get started and manage your vendor contract with MCS.

Instructional Receipt: MCS provides an Instructional Receipt form as a courtesy to our Instructional Partners.

Alaska State Business License: All Instructional Partners operating in the state of Alaska must maintain a current state business license for our files. You may apply or renew your Alaska Business License online.

Interested Persons Report (Background Check): All instructors must provide an Interested Persons Report (IPR) or an equivalent form of background check. An IPR is valid for two years; after which time, you will need to provide an updated IPR to remain current in our system. You can procure an IPR directly from the Alaska State Troopers either online or in person. If you already have a national background check, feel free to submit that in lieu of the IPR.

Get Connected

Becoming a successful Instructional Partner starts with getting connected and knowing what resources and services are available. Here are some important tips:

Stay in Touch: Every new school year, we work hard to keep your vendor status active & advertise your services on our website (if you choose). To do this, we must maintain up-to-date records. Send in copies of your new license and IPR when you update them. Email records to Gena.Chastain@matsuk12.us

Bookmark the Calendar: Stay informed about MCS to support your students. Track MCS’s Academic calendar online for upcoming reimbursement deadlines and important dates.

Follow us on Social Media: Follow us on FB and discover what’s happening in the homeschool community. Email us your flyers & advertisements and we will post them on MCS’s Facebook Page, and Instagram.

Classroom Space: We offer complimentary classroom space (when available). Contact MCS Gena Chastain for more information.

Capturing Kids Hearts: Your contribution to school climate and connectedness is valuable to our students and staff. That is why we provide training to build genuine, positive relationships with students and families.

Ask Questions: We’re here to help whenever you have a question. Call MCS Community Liaison at: 907-352-7457

What about out of State Vendors?

For homeschool students the world is their classroom.

At MCS, families have many options when it comes to reimbursable vendor instruction and how they engage their education. Whatever mode or combination of instruction you prefer, we are here to help you navigate and plot your own path. 

In some cases, our extensive list of vetted instructional partners is not enough, and parents need or want other options. Some of those choices may include online (Zoom) and in- person instruction outside of Alaska.

Therefore, we provide a waiver for parents/ guardians to complete when seeking out of state, online (out of state), and out of country Instructional Vendors. 

Consult with your advisor if you are considering out of state vendor options. We are here to help. A completed waiver must be in place prior to reimbursements.

Completed waivers are to be returned to Gena Chastain, MCS Community Liaison.
