The availability of online education for students in high school is increasing rapidly. With higher expectations of skilled employees in the workplace, technological gains worldwide, and mandated testing in the public school system, it is imperative that K-12 education provides students with the opportunities needed to become contributing members of society. This means an increased need for qualified online teachers.

The provision of skills and knowledge necessary to function in the world beyond high school depends on qualified teachers, so having a better understanding of the type of person best suited to online teaching can benefit the teacher, the school and the student. || General Session Workshop Novice ||
