Home schooled students have the option of enrolling in appropriate district courses. Students and teachers use telephones to communicate from their classroom to collaborative with each other and mentors in the community. Teachers colloborate with others in the district to develop lesson plans and integrated units. These are shared on the district's WWW server for any teacher to use. Teachers are able to access lesson plans from teachers around the world.
Teachers are able to focus on areas of expertise.
For example, a master calculus teacher spends her day teaching advanced math courses at her school and others. Teachers who are developing distance learning courses spend a great deal of time preparing for their new class. Teachers have different schedules to meet these needs. School schedules have become more flexible to allow students to participate in the more diverse curriculum. Teachers use distance learning activities to supplement portions of their regular classrooms.
