3 Introduction VirtualSC is a free, state-sponsored, online supplemental program serving students currently attending public, private, homeschool, and adult education programs in the state of South Carolina. VirtualSC offers rigorous online courses aligned to state standards that are developed and taught by Highly Qualified, SC licensed teachers. For more information about the program including the mission statement, core values, goals, and objectives, please see Appendix A: Program Overview. Core Focus Who We Are In August 2014, the former South Carolina Virtual School Program became VirtualSC. At that time, VirtualSC upgraded to a new Student Information System (SIS), OpenSIS, which was customized to the specific needs of the program. VirtualSC also launched a new website, VirtualSC.org, which is the central repository for everything about VirtualSC: overview and specific information about the program including course offerings, news, and success stories; dedicated pages for parents and schools/districts; and a student portal including the OpenSIS login. To better define the new brand, and to better align with the SC Department of Education s Vision and Profile of the South Carolina Graduate, VirtualSC has adopted a new mission statement: To provide South Carolina students with flexible and rigorous online learning opportunities that will help them acquire the knowledge, skills and characteristics necessary for college and career readiness. The SC Department of Education s Vision is that All students graduate prepared for success in college, career, and citizenship. By 2018, at least one school in every district will have implemented personalized learning that supports students meeting the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. 2

6 How We Are Doing VirtualSC courses are taught by state-certified teachers who have shown expertise in their subject areas. All VirtualSC full-time teachers hold a rating of Highly Qualified in their subject area by the SCDE. In addition to their outstanding credentials, all full-time and part-time teachers must undergo in-service Online Professional Development training to teach with VirtualSC. Due to the high volume of student requests for courses, VirtualSC employed 34 full-time teachers for the academic year in addition to 69 part-time teachers and language coaches. In , VirtualSC was able to serve 32,779 student enrollments from 311 schools in 84 public school districts, 23 home school associations, 71 private schools, and 36 adult education centers located throughout South Carolina (for details, see Appendix C: Student Enrollment by District). Out of the students who completed their courses, VirtualSC had a successful course completion rate of 90 percent for the school year (see Appendix D: Successful Course Completion Rates). VirtualSC was able, for the second year in a row, to accommodate all registration requests.

7 Of the students who enrolled in their courses and stayed beyond the twenty-day grace period, 18,625 successfully completed their courses, of which 2,094 received a failing grade. In addition, 8,409 withdrew from the course with no grade (WNG) and 477 withdrew while failing (WF). See graph below: VirtualSC Enrollment Activity 18,625 8, , Active Complete Complete Failing Withdrawn Failing Withdrawn No Grade Among the most common reasons offered for dropping the class after the grace period were the following: overextension (taking too many courses and/or involved in too many extracurricular activities); rigor (more difficult than the student thought); incompatibility with learning style (need face-to-face instruction in a brick and mortar classroom); lack of understanding about the course requirements, especially language labs for world language courses; and technology (non-compatible hardware and/or no internet connection at home). During , 179 VirtualSC students took End-of-Course Examination Program courses for which there is a state-mandated final exam. The passage rates for VirtualSC students taking this exam, as compared to the state passage rates, are detailed in the table below: EOC Course VirtualSC Exam Passage Rate State Exam Passage Rate Algebra 1 86% 85.5% Biology 1 54% 77.7% English 1 70% 74.8% US History and Constitution 77% 68.9% 6

8 During , 87 VirtualSC students took the national Advanced Placement (AP) exams. The passage rates, as compared to the state passage rates, are detailed in the table below: AP Exam VirtualSC Number of Exams Taken VirtualSC Number of 3, 4, or 5 Scores VirtualSC Pass Rate State Pass Rate Art History % 49% Biology % 66% Computer Science A % 64% English Language and Composition % 55% English Literature and Composition % 55% European History % 63% Statistics % 57% U.S. History % 55% Total % 57% To see the list of districts with students taking Advanced Placement courses with VirtualSC, please see Appendix E: Advanced Placement. Expenditures for totaled $4,856, for salaries and fringe benefits and $1,084, for operating costs, including but not limited to program software and instructional materials. Salary costs came from the General Fund, while the operating budget came from the K 12 Technology Committee and collected revenues. Program and Faculty Successes VirtualSC joined the Virtual School Leadership Alliance (VSLA). The VSLA is an association of the chiefs of some of the most innovative virtual schools nationwide that provide collegial support and collaborative opportunities to the individual members and member organizations to share resources, services, and expertise. Each year the Leadership Alliance chiefs explore topics critical to providing high quality online and blended learning by examining current research, trends, and analysis in digital learning, as well as sharing resources, services, and expertise. VSLA also partners with researchers and educational organizations to gather and provide data across more than a dozen states represented by the VSLA. Specifically, VirtualSC participated in a research project hosted by the Michigan Virtual School where they examined the relationship between the locale code (a national rural indicator) and course outcomes in K 12 online learning. Dr. Tracy Seiler, a VirtualSC Latin instructor and team leader, was selected as the SC Foreign Language Teachers Association (SCFLTA) Teacher of the Year. The SCFLTA selected Dr. Seiler as their 2015 recipient because of her dedication to her profession and her advocacy for language learning. 7

9 Denise Wright, a VirtualSC science instructor, was selected to participate in a professional development initiative funded by the Boeing Observatory Grant awarded to the South Carolina Observatory at the South Carolina State Museum. As a result, Mrs. Wright s students were able to participate in science lessons, aligned to the state science standards, conducted with a telescope in a distance learning environment. In addition, the grant afforded Ms. Wright the opportunity to invite her students to visit the state museum, tour the new planetarium, participate in a hands-on lab with lenses that enabled them to learn about the focal length of telescopes, and climb the ladder to look out of the 1926 refracting telescope. She was also invited to attend the Space Science Teacher s Summit held at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Marsheila Ksor, a VirtualSC English and language arts teacher, was selected to participate in the College Board s Annual AP Reading Seminar. Each June, AP teachers and college faculty members from around the world gather in the United States to evaluate and score the free-response sections of the AP Exams. During the 2015 scoring sessions, more than 13,500 AP Readers evaluated more than 4.5 million AP Exams. AP Readers are high school and college educators who represent many of the world s leading academic institutions. The AP Reading is a unique forum in which an academic dialogue between educators is both fostered and encouraged. What Others are Saying On the end-of-course survey that all students are required to take, 82 percent indicated they were either Satisfied or Very Satisfied with their class and VirtualSC while 85 percent said they would take another class with VirtualSC. I enjoyed the experience, the subject, and the 21 st Century Teaching Style. Student Testimony I am beyond grateful that this class was offered online. My teacher was great about getting back to me and mom if we had a problem. Thanks VirtualSC. Student Testimony This was useful for me because I could not fit the class into my schedule and I needed it to graduate. Student Testimony This was the first time my son took a course with the virtual program. I must say it was a very transparent experience and anytime he had a problem with something the teacher responded either through the virtual or Skype. He would have taken courses to better enhance his GPA if we knew about it starting in 9th grade for he is pursuing a scholarship opportunity with football. I look forward for the law to be passed increasing the number of courses to be taken during a school term. This experience has prepared me to share with other parents other options available to them. This program is as difficult as a brick and mortar; and it's important to pace yourself to be successful. Staying on task is key or even working ahead. Thank goodness for the interactive vehicle of information. Parent Testimony I love the idea of credit recovery being available for continuous sign up. This serves a great need. Thanks for all you do!! Guidance Counselor Testimony 8

10 Growth VirtualSC has been steadily growing since its pilot in 2007 and program inception in As demand increases, new courses are developed and added to the curriculum, which helps to increase enrollments. Although VirtualSC doesn t directly advertise, through word-of-mouth endorsements, the demand for existing courses has also increased. And as demand increases, the faculty and administrative staff increases accordingly. During the school year, VirtualSC had unprecedented growth of 48 percent over the prior year. Over the life of the program, VirtualSC has more than tripled its enrollments.

11 Learning Solutions for Schools Virtual Learning Labs & Robots In , VirtualSC partnered directly with schools to offer Virtual Learning Labs (VLLs) to help schools fulfill several needs from budget cuts, reduced funding, and unfilled teaching vacancies at smaller schools across the state. Through Virtual Learning Labs, VirtualSC provides a Highly Qualified SC certified teacher and the SC standards-based virtual course, as well as virtually meets with the students during a set period of the school day to provide instruction. The program began a robot pilot, which became part of the Virtual Learning Lab option. With the robots, the VirtualSC teacher can better connect with students in the classroom through use of a Double Robot. During the school year, VirtualSC piloted 4 classes with robots: Keyboarding at LEAD Academy Charter School and Dacusville Middle School; Essentials for Algebra 1 at Kingstree Senior High School; and Algebra 2 at Timberland High. These classes included 164 students and had a success rate of 91 percent. Franchises VirtualSC began to offer a new flexible Franchise Program to schools and districts across the state. This program allows schools to use VirtualSC developed course content, the program s Learning Management System (Moodle), and the VirtualSC Student Information System (OpenSIS) while still using their own instructors. Aiken Virtual Academy, which is a supplemental program offered through Aiken County School District, became the first VirtualSC franchise. During the school year, Aiken Virtual Academy offered 20 class periods across 3 semesters and served 486 students with a 79 percent success rate. Based on this success, several additional districts are offering franchise options during the school year, including Berkeley County School District, Dorchester 4 School District, Jasper County School District, and John de la Howe School, and several others have started the process of becoming a franchise, including Colleton County and Orangeburg 3 school districts. Elementary Keyboarding VirtualSC offers a blended elementary keyboarding program for grades 3 6. During the school year, VirtualSC served 8,518 elementary students in 19 districts. During the school year, this is being expanded to include K 2 students as well and has been expanded to reach 28 districts at the beginning of the school year with more expected to begin offering this service to their students. For a list of districts with students taking K 6 keyboarding with VirtualSC, see Appendix F: Grades K 6 Keyboarding Districts. 10

12 Test Preparation To assist students in preparing for national college entrance exams, such as the ACT, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT, as well as Advanced Placement (AP) exams, the VirtualSC offers test preparation free-of-charge to any public, private, or homeschool student in the State of South Carolina whether they are enrolled in VirtualSC or not. These reviews were developed by Shmoop, a digital curriculum test preparation company that makes fun yet rigorous learning materials that will help students prepare for national exams. During the academic year, over 3,000 students requested IDs to take advantage of this offering. English Language Arts and Math Assistance Pilot Program VirtualSC offers free English language arts (ELA) and math skills recovery resources to middle and high schools via EdReady. Both the ELA and math resources are standards-aligned, mastery-based, and provide a personalized learning experience based upon each student s current level of skill and understanding. In addition, they are available to schools to use in the manner that best suits the needs of their students. The resources are not provided with a VirtualSC teacher, but VirtualSC works directly with the schools to provide free online curricula, administrative support for troubleshooting, and free training for the school s teachers and staff. During the school year, over 500 students took advantage of this program. 11

13 Coming Soon VirtualSC has completed a five-year strategic plan focused on the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate and ensuring that students working with VirtualSC are college and career ready. Throughout the strategic planning process, the VirtualSC Leadership Team identified several ways to ensure students are college and career ready. Middle School Exploratory Courses VirtualSC is planning to begin building middle school level courses over the next few years to ensure that middle school students have an option to begin learning how to take online courses in preparation for high school and beyond to ensure that they obtain excellent life and career characteristics starting as early as middle school. Additionally, VirtualSC has plans to offer many exploratory courses to middle school students to ensure that they are properly prepared to enter high school. More World Language Options VirtualSC will be completely supporting the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate in many ways, but one example will be to offer an expanded array of World Language courses. In the school year, VirtualSC is adding German 1 as a new course and will continue to expand to add more levels of each language and add new languages for students to ensure that they are gaining a world class knowledge. So, VirtualSC will be expanding and implementing a plethora of ways to ensure that students obtain world class knowledge, world class skills, and life and career characteristics needed to be a 21 st century graduate in support of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. Deeper Partnerships with Rural Districts Across SC VirtualSC will be focusing on outreach to provide additional opportunities for rural schools. One of the challenges rural districts face is a lack of support staff for virtual labs and individuals taking online courses. Our outreach will include additional training for school staff and supplementing lab facilitators where necessary. More Flexible Enrollment Options for Students VirtualSC understands that not all schools follow the same school schedule and, sometimes, students need the option to take classes outside of the traditional school semester calendar. VirtualSC is exploring alternative scheduling including staggered beginning dates, shorter class durations, and rolling enrollments (as is already done with Credit Recovery courses) to better facilitate our students scheduling needs. 12

14 Quality Matters To ensure that course offerings meet SCDE assessment requirements and align to state standards, materials are evaluated by a VirtualSC curriculum coordinator. In addition to this requirement, VirtualSC evaluates a course if its content is changed to a significant degree such that its alignment may be questionable, or if the standards themselves have changed. VirtualSC has begun to review all courses based on the Quality Matters framework to ensure that courses meet accessibility guidelines and follow the guidelines of an external review framework. Future plans include having all courses reviewed by an external review committee using the Quality Matters framework to ensure that all courses meet national guidelines and standards, as well as state academic standards. 13

15 Appendices Appendix A: Program Overview Program Overview Following a one-year pilot, the South Carolina Virtual School Program (SCVSP), legislatively created in May 2007, began offering courses in the academic year as a supplemental program for students in traditional brick and mortar public schools, private schools, and homeschools. Since then, the program, now known as VirtualSC, has worked with these diploma-granting schools, as well as adult education centers, to provide state-funded online courses for high school credit at no cost to the students. Mission The mission of VirtualSC is to provide South Carolina students with flexible and rigorous online learning opportunities that will help them acquire the knowledge, skills, and characteristics necessary for college and career readiness. Core Values The following are the core values that guide VirtualSC: 1. The student should be at the center of each decision. 2. Integrity, honesty, and respect are paramount in all aspects of VirtualSC s operations. 3. Courses must be engaging and interactive with rigorous standards-based content to meet the diverse educational needs of the students. 4. Students, parents, and sponsors should be active partners in the process. 5. All students, parents, teachers, and sponsors are accountable for their role in the educational process. 6. Continuous examination is vital to program improvement. Goals and Objectives VirtualSC strives to reach the following goals and objectives: 1. Increase the graduation rate in South Carolina. 2. Focus on the individual success of each student and tailor courses to students educational needs. 3. Provide students with access to Advanced Placement and specialized courses, which may not be offered at their traditional brick and mortar schools in order to promote educational equality. 4. Provide an alternative to students who may not be able to complete their high school education without access to flexible options (e.g. students with children, students with mitigating work schedules/circumstances, students with disabilities or medical issues) 5. Provide credit recovery courses for students. 6. Provide students with a 21 st century education to make them competitive in the workforce after their high school graduation or in their pursuit of a degree from a higher education institution. 14
