New online courses aid tiny schools - ERIC FRY, The Juneau Empire
Alaska educators hope new online courses will help students, especially in small rural schools, meet state standards and be prepared for college. The courses also will help schools obey new federal requirements to use highly qualified teachers. Alaska Online, a consortium of nine school districts, has been offering a pilot program of 21 courses for high school students for a year and will start officially this fall. Alaska teachers developed most of the courses, many of which are in English and math. Alaska Online officials said the students will be enrolled in regular schools but need courses that aren't offered locally or don't fit into their class schedule.
