“Critical Considerations for Teaching Students with Disabilities in Online Environments”
In the article, Critical Considerations for Teaching Students with Disabilities in Online Environments, the authors provide an overview of the K-12 Online Learning Environments. As a parent, who experienced my child attending online classes through K-12, it is a huge commitment on the part of the parent. Essentially the parent becomes the coach, and mentor. The online instructor is a facilitator/teacher. While it was not a good fit for my son, I can see the promising future in K-12 online classes. Above is an interesting table from the article, illustrating the common misunderstandings and the current practices in K-12 Online instruction.
