Coaching for Virtual Teachers
Overwhelmingly, research shows that the best practices for students are the same, whether they are learning virtually or in a brick-and-mortar setting:
Provide growth-oriented feedback
Discover students’ communication preferences
Allow multiple opportunities to show success
Establish clear expectations for engagement
Encourage student-driven goal setting
But the “how” and “when” of these best practices will look different in a virtual setting!
SCHOOL ACCELERATOR PROGRAM:
VIRTUAL TEACHER PATHWAY
Whether your district is new to virtual learning or looking to refine an existing program after a year of change and growth, TU can help support you. Rooted in the same proven strategies as our other programs, our School Accelerator Program: Virtual Teacher Pathway helps teachers build capacity and implement best practices for student success in their virtual classrooms.

BEST PRACTICES
Your teachers will use combined best practices for virtual schooling and professional learning to get real results for your students.
SPECIALIZED SKILLS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING
Virtual teaching and learning requires additional and specialized skills. While teachers from in-school settings can transition successfully to virtual classrooms, additional support and training ensures that they, and their students, can excel in a new environment. Put your teachers on the path to success with actionable tools and lessons specific to overcoming common challenges of online learning:
- Relationship building and modeling
- Differentiating between “strategic compliance” and “engagement”
- Customizing learning environments
FLEXIBLE LEARNING
Virtual schools offer different opportunities for learning vs. physical schools. Different opportunities also exist for professional development and training of virtual teachers. Provide your teachers with both synchronous and asynchronous opportunities for truly context-specific learning. Acquire new strategies, refine skills and put those new skills into practice in your virtual classrooms and schools with coaching, support, and feedback.
PEDAGOGY-BASED
Our pedagogy-based programs support learning across curriculum, platform, grade level, and content areas. Complete the other initiatives ongoing at your virtual school by providing actionable strategies to make virtual teaching and learning better.
Partners have seen meaningful skill growth among teachers and administrators leading to increased student academic outcomes and engagement after completing TU programs. Read more about our measurement process and impact seen across our programs.
