Teachers in iQ Academy Texas are highly qualified in their subject areas, and meet all the same requirements for teachers as for any other public school in Texas.
In addition to those basic qualifications, all teachers in iQ Academy Texas receive a minimum of 16 additional hours of training specifically in using the online tools and the instructional techniques that are proven to be most effective in online learning. This training includes specific instruction in the skills needed to effectively use the learning management system (LMS) where students access their course materials as well as instruction in using the synchronous tools that allow students and teachers (and parents) to work together in real-time over the internet. Much of the teacher support and instruction occurs one on one with teachers providing instruction as needed to support the online materials.
