Teachers and community leaders got a basic understanding this week on how teachers could become more like facilitators and school districts might start sharing courses. Lorie Layfield, online education teacher with the Highlands County School District, told the District Schools Advisory Committee that area high schools have spent three years teaching a workplace technology application and online etiquette course. It teaches students how to operate in an increasingly digital world, Layfield said. All students are required by state law to have completed a least one online course for graduation. Layfield said course completion rates have been good: 677 out of 785 students. There is a move to add to the online course offerings with a civics course.
