You may wish to look at Quality Matters for research based online course design.

Glad to see you are starting such a venture!

Very interested! I just finished my LEC Certification for online teaching, have been teaching middle school humanities in Temecula for 16 years, am a Google certified Teacher and DEN star educator. I live in Oceanside, and have had big dreams of starting the "right kind" of school for a LONG time!

DEFINITELY interested! I have taught online for 4 years. I've created quite a few web based courses and would really like to find a school that is a good fit for me. I have to stay in Nebraska, but would really like to visit with you about your ideas. Message me or look for me in the Newbie Lounge. I am coordinating it and will be in there frequently. I'm also @bethstill on Twitter if you are on there.

Interested.

I am a GCT, 16 years in education, multiple credentials, alum of the JHU/ISTE Admin and Supervision graduate certification program, and opportunities to collaborate with a solid team for the benefit of inspiring learners is what I'm all about.

I was involved in

a K-8 Waldorf Charter and homeschooling from 1994-1997,
a K-12 public global/ecology magnet school from 1999-2011, and
online coaching from 2004-2011 with schools all over the world.

I think that two secrets of success for a virtual school are a

strong online social network and
frequently monitored standards-based collaborative projects.

I have crossed many roadblocks with help from teachers around the world. I think that this platform could work for Title I students and others.

Hi WIlliam. I'd like to hear and talk more about this. I currently already am a 9-12 online teacher with the only accredited online independent school in the U.S., in addition to teaching in a brick-and-mortar school.
