The Selfless Teacher

What would a student version of The Selfless Teacher look like?

It has arrived!

The information below is pulled directly from "K–12 ONLINE LEARNING: A SURVEY OF U.S. SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS."

The nationwide survey, conducted during the 2005-2006 academic year, finds
  • almost two out of three (63 %) school districts had one or more students enrolled in either a fully online or a blended course, which combines online learning with traditional face-to-face instruction.
  • over 60% of school districts with students enrolled in online courses anticipate their online enrollments will grow. Over the next two years districts predict online enrollments will increase by 19% and blended enrollments by 23%.
  • the overall number of K-12 students engaged in online courses in 2005-2006, is estimated at 700,000.
