<p>“家庭希望获得更多灵活性，” 她对学校董事会说。</p>

<p>阿马里洛独立学区课程与教学助理 superintendent 詹妮弗·威尔克森在 2 月 9 日的学校董事会会议上发言，解释了为帮助满足学生需求而提出的虚拟学习课程的增加。</p>
<p>尽管在 COVID 疫情期间虚拟教育被认为不成功，威尔克森表示他们发现了一些 “秘密课程”——在某些时间段内，虚拟学习效果非常好。</p>
<p>“这是一个扩展我们目标的机会，进行更多研究，并在学生的个性化教育和教学设计方面提供卓越，” 她说。</p>
<p>威尔克森预计该项目将在 2027-28 学年启动。</p>
<p>当董事会主席道尔·科德（Doyle Corder）问她这适合什么类型的学生时，她表示这将适用于加速学习和基础教学——在某些情况下可能是混合模式。</p>
<p>完成后，这些课程将面向 6-12 年级，艺术和体育课程将有限制，最终将覆盖 100% 的课程。当科德问她是否需要增加教师时，她表示可能需要，具体取决于结果。</p>
<p>威尔克森强调，虚拟学习并不是为了提前毕业，而是为了给希望工作或有其他特殊情况的学生提供更多灵活性。还提到一些学校，如升天学院（Ascension Academy），已经提供虚拟课程。她还强调，在填写申请时会有问责制。</p>
<p>学生可以在他们想要的时间上课，而不是在发布的常规时间。</p>
<p>董事会成员唐·鲍威尔（Don Powell）表示，他更倾向于传统的课堂教学，威尔克森回应说，这对她来说也是一种挑战。</p>
<p>“我从来不是虚拟教育的代言人，” 威尔克森说。“我很难进入这个领域，因为我喜欢面对面与学生交流，看到他们 ‘明白’ 的那一刻。这就是我们从事教育的原因。但我知道，我们的世界正在变化，我们必须对此保持敏感。如果我们想要与时俱进，保持相关性，我们必须找到解决方案，并以对孩子最有利的方式考虑家庭。”</p>
<p>威尔克森最后表示：“我们并不免于问责措施。所有学生和学校必须满足的问责要求，这些学生和学校（虚拟）也必须遵守。”</p>

</div><p>“I am not the face for virtual education and never have been,” Wilkerson said. “It’s been a stretch for me to launch into this because I love when you’re talking about sitting across from a kid and watching him 'get it'. That’s why we get into education. But what I know is, that our world is changing, and we have to be mindful of that. And if we want to be current and relevant, we have to figure out how to do how to do it, and we know what is best for kids in a way that in keeps our families in mind.”</p>

</div><p>Wilkerson concluded by saying, “We are not absolved from accountability measures. All the same things that students and schools have to do to meet accountability, these students and schools will have to do (virtually) as well.”</p>
