German Summer Update

Students enrolled in our German courses with OSU need to have proctors for some of the testing assignments. Parents can serve in this role if students are taking courses at home. If students are taking the courses at their school, then the school needs to have a staff member serve as a proctor. Please contact OSU at 800-423-6493 or [email protected] for more details.

Math 1 Co-Teaching Webinar

We appreciate your time and interest. We have included some information, resources, and links below to help clarify questions and to provide items that you can readily share with your teams.

Webinar Archive - Each webinar was recorded. Feel free to share the archived video and presentation with your team.
FAQ's - We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions. We've answered each question within this document, so you would have it for future reference.
Course Syllabi - Several participants requested access to the Foundations of NC Math 1 Syllabus and to the NC Math 1 Co-Teaching Syllabus. Each syllabus outlines course set up, grading practices, technical requirements, as well as information regarding the NCVPS Academic Integrity and Privacy policies.
Suggested Pacing Guides - Several participants requested access to the Foundations of NC Math 1 Pacing Guide and to the NC Math 1 Co-Teaching Pacing Guide. Each pacing guide provides a suggested timeline. The classroom and online teachers will collaborate throughout the school year to plan via their daily asynchronous and weekly synchronous contacts.
Registration - Registration is open for the 2018 - 2019 school year. You may find it helpful to reference the NC Math 1 Intervention Co-Teaching Program Registration Guidelines.

If you have additional questions, then please reach out to Catrina Parker at c [email protected] . We look forward to partnering with you!

Summer school with NCVPS is a fast-paced program. An entire 18-week course is taught in just 8 weeks. Students will spend 3-5 hours each day, Monday through Friday, working on their courses, and just like at a traditional school, there is often work over the weekend, too.

See our Summer School Guide for complete program details.
