iNACOL Publishes Standards for K-12 Online Programs

Another milestone for K-12 online learning. This 3rd version of publication on national standards for K-12 online programs incorporates a set of standards program leaders need to assure quality online programs. What a great resource to validate that it takes a lot of effort to offer quality programs, especially as it involves alignment to organizational goals, focused strategic planning, continual program improvement and ongoing professional development of personnel to ensure quality online programs.

I think we should integrate the self evaluation form (end of document) into our program planning process and review annually. What do you think? :)
