A Successful Partnership Starts Here
A lot goes in to establishing good partnerships, which can foster the success of virtual schools and programs. For years, schools and districts across the country have partnered with Edgenuity Instructional Services to build virtual schools and programs to give their students a flexible, engaging, and rigorous education. This experience has helped us to identify the following factors that commonly help in building lasting virtual learning partnerships:
Your virtual curriculum provider should offer:
- Virtual instructors who provide personalized learning and communicate regularly with administrators and students.
- Coaches who motivate and provide on-demand tutoring.
- A team of professionals to help manage your virtual program.
- Engaging, rigorous curriculum and interactive learning tools.
- Real-time data to inform instruction, remediation, and communication.
- Opportunities for additional resources, professional development workshops, and job-embedded coaching.
- A marketing toolkit to help promote your virtual program to students and parents.
In turn, the school or district should:
- Identify academic goals in order to establish appropriate policies: Which students should enroll? Those seeking honors courses? Those on medical leave? Those trying to recover credits?
- Establish appropriate expectations, such as program length, attendance policies, grading scale, etc.
- Determine evaluation metrics to measure the success of the program.
- Identify mentors who will partner with the virtual instructors to ensure success.
- Provide orientation and training opportunities for mentors and students.
- Work with the virtual instructors to monitor data and implement change as needed.
