As technology becomes increasingly integral to our lives, Florida Public Schools must adapt or risk being left behind. Our society is mobile, allowing us to connect with anyone from anywhere, even enabling work from unconventional locations like parks or coffee shops. While some school districts are slow to adapt, others have embraced the change.Florida's Innovative Virtual Education Model
Established in 1997, the Florida Virtual School (FLVS) was the nation’s first statewide online public high school. It serves as a model for other states aiming to offer similar opportunities. Unique among Florida Schools, FLVS’s funding is directly linked to student performance.
FLVS leaders are dedicated to delivering high-quality, technology-driven education based on several core beliefs:
- Every student is unique, so learning must be dynamic, flexible, and engaging.
- Education should integrate subjects rather than treat them as isolated topics.
- Students, parents, community members, and schools share the responsibility for learning.
- Students should have choices in how they learn and demonstrate their knowledge.
- School and career planning guidance should be provided.
- Assessments should offer insight into student progress and inform instruction and curriculum.
FLVS courses are available to all public, private, and homeschooled students in Florida. Out-of-state and international students can enroll by paying tuition. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
With a teaching staff of 380 full-time and 180 adjunct instructors, FLVS employs certified educators, all with valid Florida teaching certificates. These teachers are located throughout Florida and beyond.
Benefits and Considerations
FLVS is especially appealing for students who are homeschooled, face psychological challenges, or have social disorders. It offers a flexible learning environment that can be tailored to individual needs.
However, challenges remain. The absence of face-to-face interaction with instructors could hinder some aspects of learning, as non-verbal communication plays a crucial role in understanding. Additionally, the lack of social interaction typical in traditional schools means students miss out on opportunities to engage with peers.
While virtual schooling presents significant benefits, it's essential to weigh these against the drawbacks of never experiencing the traditional classroom environment found in Florida's diverse school districts.
In conclusion, while the virtual school model offers tremendous flexibility and access, students and parents should carefully consider both its advantages and limitations to make informed educational choices.
