Requirements for Teaching
Teachers need to have excellent computer skills and be prepared to spend more timeonline with students, teaching and directing learning than in a typical face-to-face classroom. Teachers will be required to complete a training program hosted by Georgia Virtual School. This training includes instruction on the pedagogy of virtual learning and the technical aspects of the online platform. Teachers are also provided with hands-on experiences and mentoring from veteran 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.
