Innovative Education Management

Where Parents Choose and Students Succeed (South Sutter Charter School)

“Where parents choose and students succeed,” that's the motto at Innovative Education Management (IEM), a nonprofit organization that develops and operates independent study charter schools across California. Individualized education can benefit a range of students and learning types, from those who struggle in a traditional classroom environment to advanced learners who are looking for an accelerated curriculum. IEM schools offer home schooling parents a variety of choices through a comprehensive list of vendors with which to teach electives and higher level courses. And just as with traditional schools, students have access to social opportunities with other families. Students can receive a quality education at home with the right support. IEM gives parents the tools, guidance and freedom to make the best choices for their children's education.

Restorative Schools Vision Project

Keeping Our Kids in School

Inequitable and punitive school discipline policies are creating a “school-to-prison” pipeline, where students are being prevented from achieving their full potential. The Restorative Schools Vision Project helps schools address this crisis by introducing restorative justice and social-emotional learning practices. Restorative justice favors problem solving over punishment by addressing the underlying reason why an injustice was committed and “restoring” people to their true selves and community. It emphasizes that everyone counts, not just those in power (teachers/administrators) but the students, too. It also incorporates awareness of different cultures and perspectives as reasons why someone may behave a certain way.
