Abstract

Abstract: The growth in the numbers of students learning online and the importance of online learning as a solution to educational challenges are two factors that have increased the need to study more closely the factors that effect student learning in virtual schooling environments. Of particular importance is the preparation of teachers for teaching in virtual schools. This paper identifies the unique factors of K-12 virtual schooling, outlines a study of the effectiveness of virtual schools, and describes how leading virtual schools currently prepare teachers for success.
