Understanding the 'In Real Time' Service

Michelle Nichols, Director of Operations at Wisconsin Virtual School, introduces the In Real Time service aimed at addressing teacher shortages and expanding school curricula. The service offers live or recorded lessons scheduled at specific times. Teachers interested in participating can attend a session on August 5th or contact Michelle for more information. The service is an add-on to existing contracts, with current needs in French, Algebra, and Geometry. The initiative also supports schools previously aided by WVS and students transitioning from WVS Plus. Teachers are encouraged to reach out with questions.
