  4. Challenges • Limited resources against a broad array of students • Smaller population of students – same geography • Teachers multi-tasking, multiple preps • Student / Parent expectations

  5. Online Options • Curriculum Objects for Blended Learning • Flipped Classroom • Software • Credit Recovery • Full Service Options • University Sponsored Schools • For-Profit Schools It is not EITHER / OR it is BOTH / AND.

  6. Questions to Clarify Goals • What is the problem we are trying to solve? • What is the value we are trying to create? • What can we do locally? • What should we do locally? • Does this meet our standards and requirements • Accredited? • Matched to state standards? • Transcripting, progress reporting? • NCAA Approved? • Tier One for military recruiting?

  7. Alternative Education – Need Flexibility "Your support and course offerings are a godsend. Many of these classes would be impossible in a traditional setting, nor would the students be able to make up lost time and classes as they are able working with you."

  8. Small School - Foreign Language “(We are) a small school in a remotely populated area. These courses are important to our students to fulfill foreign language requirements at many colleges and universities. We do not have a foreign language teacher on staff at our small school.”

  9. Students at Different Skill Levels "We are a small rural school who has had to cut classes due to the reduction of staff. I have two students on both ends of the educational spectrum. The Pre Algebra student needs more instruction in the math area as she is s senior who needs to improve her math skills. My other student is a newly transferred student who took three years of Spanish in his previous school and wanted to take the 4th year of Spanish before he goes to a 4 year college."

  10. One Student Needs Advanced Class "We have an advanced student who qualifies to take Physics but we couldn't offer it this year because of numbers. Being a Class C-1 school we couldn't justify a class for one student. This scholarship would allow our student to experience Physics before he goes to college."
