Teaching can be
a very rewarding career. Teaching in a virtual school is challenging, but it
can be a great career path for the right type of teacher. (Photo courtesy of

Teaching in a virtual school, such as Florida Virtual
School, could be a great opportunity and a wonderful fit for the right type of
teacher with an education degree. Oftentimes, the pay is equal to or greater than that
of a traditional classroom teacher. The online teacher still receives great
medical coverage as well. Not to mention the fact that as well as an online
student, an online teacher may teach from home, an office, and library or
wherever they may be.
While the benefits of teaching online are many, the
requirements are tight. In Florida, to teach public school, grades K through
12, it is required of the employee to hold a bachelor’s degree in a specific
subject and in education (specific subject areas being for the higher
grades). Above that, like college level and some high school subjects that are
advanced placement, it is required that the instructor has at least a master’s
degree in that subject area. This is the general criteria for public school and
most community colleges. For teaching in Florida Virtual School, which is only
K through 12, not only are the appropriate degrees required, it is also
required that the considered employee has one year successful teaching
experience (check out Florida Virtual School for more information about this).
Even with the benefits, teaching in an online school
like Florida Virtual School is tough work. It’s challenging. There are often
late nights, early mornings, and long hours. Teachers are expected to stay on
top of checking email and updating information in the online class at least
once or twice daily. Teachers need to be able to balance their work load and
manage their time. Some tips for time management for online teachers can be
seen here. And this is why the benefits are so great. Teachers in a virtual school
are able to create and design their online classroom. They get to implement
online resources and implement interactive tools to build and deliver lessons
and activities. There is also the benefit of using a multitude of
internet-based tools to stay in contact with students. Skype, live and voice
chats, and webcasts are a few of the ways that teachers and their students in
the class can connect. Even if the class is miles apart, the teacher can
facilitate community in a virtual school classroom. K12 online school offers a page to view some sample lessons so the
teacher can get an idea of what it will be like to teach in that environment.
