<p>“家庭希望獲得更多靈活性，” 她對學校董事會説。</p>
<p>威爾克森表示，世界正在變化，他們需要應對所面臨的挑戰。虛擬教育不僅可以用於加速學習，也可以用於全日制學生。威爾克森説，他們在 8 月份討論挑戰後申請了一項補助金，並獲得了來自德克薩斯教育局（TEA）為期兩年的 226,000 美元補助金。</p>

<p>阿馬裏洛獨立學區課程與教學助理 superintendent 詹妮弗·威爾克森在 2 月 9 日的學校董事會會議上發言，解釋了為幫助滿足學生需求而提出的虛擬學習課程的增加。</p>
<p>儘管在 COVID 疫情期間虛擬教育被認為不成功，威爾克森表示他們發現了一些 “秘密課程”——在某些時間段內，虛擬學習效果非常好。</p>
<p>“這是一個擴展我們目標的機會，進行更多研究，並在學生的個性化教育和教學設計方面提供卓越，” 她説。</p>
<p>威爾克森預計該項目將在 2027-28 學年啓動。</p>
<p>當董事會主席道爾·科德（Doyle Corder）問她這適合什麼類型的學生時，她表示這將適用於加速學習和基礎教學——在某些情況下可能是混合模式。</p>
<p>完成後，這些課程將面向 6-12 年級，藝術和體育課程將有限制，最終將覆蓋 100% 的課程。當科德問她是否需要增加教師時，她表示可能需要，具體取決於結果。</p>
<p>威爾克森強調，虛擬學習並不是為了提前畢業，而是為了給希望工作或有其他特殊情況的學生提供更多靈活性。還提到一些學校，如昇天學院（Ascension Academy），已經提供虛擬課程。她還強調，在填寫申請時會有問責制。</p>
<p>學生可以在他們想要的時間上課，而不是在發佈的常規時間。</p>
<p>董事會成員唐·鮑威爾（Don Powell）表示，他更傾向於傳統的課堂教學，威爾克森回應説，這對她來説也是一種挑戰。</p>
<p>“我從來不是虛擬教育的代言人，” 威爾克森説。“我很難進入這個領域，因為我喜歡面對面與學生交流，看到他們 ‘明白’ 的那一刻。這就是我們從事教育的原因。但我知道，我們的世界正在變化，我們必須對此保持敏感。如果我們想要與時俱進，保持相關性，我們必須找到解決方案，並以對孩子最有利的方式考慮家庭。”</p>
<p>威爾克森最後表示：“我們並不免於問責措施。所有學生和學校必須滿足的問責要求，這些學生和學校（虛擬）也必須遵守。”</p>

<p>阿馬裏洛獨立學區正在通過增強虛擬教育選項來應對 700 名學生的流失。助理主管詹妮弗·威爾克森強調了學習靈活性的必要性，表示家庭正在尋求替代方案。該學區已從德克薩斯州教育局獲得 22.6 萬美元的撥款，以支持這一倡議，計劃於 2027-28 學年啓動。該項目將面向 6 至 12 年級，專注於加速學習和基礎教學，同時確保有問責措施到位。威爾克森承認虛擬教育面臨挑戰，但強調在變化的世界中其必要性</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 class="lb-trans"><p>“我從來不是虛擬教育的代言人，” 威爾克森説。“我很難進入這個領域，因為我喜歡面對面與學生交流，看到他們 ‘明白’ 的那一刻。這就是我們從事教育的原因。但我知道，我們的世界正在變化，我們必須對此保持敏感。如果我們想要與時俱進，保持相關性，我們必須找到解決方案，並以對孩子最有利的方式考慮家庭。”</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>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>威爾克森最後表示：“我們並不免於問責措施。所有學生和學校必須滿足的問責要求，這些學生和學校（虛擬）也必須遵守。”</p>
