Our goal is to offer the classes that are most requested and needed by our homeschool families.  N-TECH demands a lot of time and energy from homeschooling parents and students, and it will only be worth that time and energy if we are meeting a majority of the needs.
Prior to re-application each semester, surveys will be distributed to determine
the most requested classes for the upcoming semester.
From those surveys, each Age Group Coordinator will contact moms/dads that have expressed an interest in teaching to confirm their area of service.
There will always be classes that don’t generate enough interest and therefore do not make the class schedule for the next semester.  Such classes are then canceled. The person who had planned to teach a class that is canceled will either become part of the cleaning team or volunteer to teach another available class which is without a designated teacher.
Some of the for-credit / academic classes cover two semesters and may meet for additional dates outside of standard co-op dates.  The parents of students in these classes are required to stay involved with their children to assure the homework is understood and completed for the co-op teacher, who is a volunteer.  These parents  will also serve as an assistant on a rotation schedule during the extra classes.
