Teachers should develop effective teaching techniques that encourage cooperative participation of all students as a whole unit, rather than as separate site units. Teachers shall schedule parent-teacher conferences for all students. Parent-Teacher conferences should be held via the interactive system in order to expose parents to the technology that is being used to instruct their child, unless the parent feels uncomfortable with it, then other arrangements would need to be made. When conducting conferences over ITV, the teacher should take the necessary action to assure that confidentiality is maintained by the coordination of the network switching process and by placing supervisory monitors so they cannot be viewed openly. Conferences may be scheduled over the telephone or at a common site as necessary and agreed upon by both the parent and teacher.
Teachers are responsible for scheduling conferences as they determine necessary.
Teachers shall establish procedures for completing lab work for courses requiring laboratory experiments. Teachers shall provide advance written guidelines for remote sites for accomplishment of these objectives. Responsibility for expense and supervision of these activities will be assumed by each local district participating. Training Teachers new on the two-way interactive system will be given a one day training program prior to teaching students. Teacher Evaluation Teachers hired to teach over the two-way interactive network will be evaluated by the administration of the sending site.
