Teacher Interaction

The prospect of being comfortable enough with every possible subject to provide the right start for your high school student can be daunting. Even if you are expert in one area (and that may be as a practitioner, not a teacher), kids’ interests can range far from their parents’ if given a chance. K12 is all about giving kids a chance to maximize their xPotential.

That’s why a group of skilled teachers is needed to work closely with students, week in and week out, to build their skills, weave the community of learners together, answer questions, and give professional-grade advice on how to improve performance as the course progresses.

K12 trains each teacher in the underpinnings of the courses, and provides them with rubrics and support “hot lines” that can connect them directly to our curriculum developers, if needed. This means K12912 high school teachers have access to some of the finest curriculum minds in the country, right on up to our Chief Learning Officer, as they work through courses with kids.

The feedback these teaching professionals give about the activities and assignments feeds directly into the K12 curriculum development group as well, allowing the courses to be improved year-by-year (even month-by-month in some cases). Teachers also share their best practices with other teachers working with the same K12 courses across the country, providing an unprecedented professional community that can improve virtual teaching practice (as well as the curriculum) year after year.
