Requirements for Teaching
Teachers need to have excellent computer skills and be prepared to spend more time online with students, teaching and directing learning than in a typical face-to-face classroom. Teachers will be required to complete a two semester training program hosted by Georgia Virtual School.

During the first semester of training, selected teacher applicants will participate in a 12 week online teacher training course. This course will familiarize teachers with the pedagogy of virtual learning and teaching as well as the technical aspects of the online platform. Teachers will also get hands-on experience when they are assigned a supervising teacher and participate in a student teaching experience. During the second semester, teachers will complete a paired teaching experience where they have the roles and responsibilities of a GaVS teacher with the support of a supervising teacher. Our training program is conducted by experienced online instructors.

Please note: Completion of the training program does not guarantee a teaching assignment. Teaching and other assignments are determined by program enrollment and needs at the discretion of the GAVS administration. Assignments are communicated to teachers several weeks prior to the beginning of each semester.
