Stellar Schools rely on many proven methods of instruction,
including hardcopy textbooks, hardcopy supplementary
documents, digitized texts, on-line workbooks, on-line
drills, video based lectures, video based supplementary
lectures, hardcopy lecture notes, digitized lecture notes,
on-line practice tests, on-line homework, hardcopy
homework, on-line assessment systems. Instruction will be
individualized in a self-paced learning environment. We
shall rely on six different kinds of instructors:
•
University or
college professors in the video lectures.
•
Expert K-12
instructors in the video lectures.
•
K-12 teachers
located at the school sites.
•
Teaching
assistants located at the school sites.
•
Student tutors
who are at the school sites.
•
Help desk
experts located at the network’s central service
facility.
The video
instruction will be taught by two-person teams composed of
an expert K-12 instructor and a college level professor.
These two-person teams will also create and maintain the
examination databases for each course as well as author the
lecture notes. All of the computer based and Web based
instruction will be available asynchronously on-demand.
Many of the digitized content materials will be linked from
the practice tests and other on-line courseware systems as
appropriate.
