Online courses becoming a popular choice

Posted by admin - 27/02/10 at 07:02 am

Some districts are taking even more aggressive steps. A four-day school week, with corresponding savings in busing, heating/cooling, electricity, and transportation costs is garnering serious attention. To compensate for a four-day schedule, schools are considering longer school days or online offerings on the fifth day. Online options include virtual courses, enrichment and accelerated programs, and programs for credit recovery—all of which can improve and expand students’ learning opportunities. Many districts see this as “win/win“ option, because they achieve a reduction in key operational costs without compromising instructional quality
or consistency.
