Online Courses

Dawson ISD believes that all students deserve not only the best education possible but access to the most current learning technologies available. Because secondary classrooms have less flexible schedules, Interactive Online Learning for high school students will be provided by request. Online learning is a student centered approach to learning that will provide:
Comprehensive Courses that will enable our school to
Expand and provide more complex curriculum
Provide credit recovery year round
Support student advancement
Make the most efficient use of teachers and resources
The curriculum integrates academically rigorous, standards-based content with realistic applications in traditional academic courses as well as electives. These courses will be offered through the Tx VSN project during the fall and spring semesters and the Target Technology for Texas Collaboration Grant (T3) for the summer semester. Dawson ISD will provide a facilitator and counselor that will monitor the student’s progress during the online course.

Please discuss this with your students. For a complete listing of course offerings please contact me.
