Back = **How to Start an Online Learning Program** =

//Starting an online program as a part of a school or as a separate school is a many-faceted challenge, even for seasoned educators. This session will identify which types of decisions need to be made first and which decisions should wait until after these initial decisions have been made. The session will give you the opportunity to work with experienced practitioners from around the country. Topics will include program design, curriculum decisions, administrative systems, teacher recruitment and professional development, student recruitment and support, policy development, and more. This session is designed for educators who are new to virtual schooling or in their first two years of their program.//
