Collaborative Partnerships with Michigan Virtual
Team up with us to offer local, online learning!
Stronger Together!
Michigan Virtual has created a collaborative teaching partnership with districts to reduce the cost of delivering online experiences. Teachers from local districts will be trained by our staff to be highly-qualified online instructors, implementing our top-quality online courses for the school district. This partnership reduces the cost of Michigan Virtual teachers and lets the district augment the number of students in a course when you have fewer than the maximum in a physical classroom.
Case study: Read about how our collaborative partnership with St. Clair County RESA helped us reach our common goal of increasing student engagement and achievement through the implementation of developing personal relationships, effective feedback, motivation and other best practices in an online environment.
