Breakout Session 3: Policy Making and Online Schools by Janel

Key Issues for Policy Making
Student assessment
Full time vs supplemental
Funding
Program accountability
Teaching/curriculum
Program models

They talked a lot about state level policy making so a lot of it does not apply, but the implications and areas that they are examiing will be very important in the development of our school.

Bell South and SREB hae a variety of resources for us to use

Be careful with much of the curiculum purchased outside of the states because they are centered around national rather than state standards, but if you want to sell your developed curriculum it is best to center it around national standards or at least be able to map them that way. However, the purchased curriculum should be reviewed against your specific state's standards.
