TEC Member District 21-22 School Year Offerings
Are you interested in supporting district families who need a full-time remote option? Or interested in offering students an online course to accelerate their learning, to expand their interests with an appealing elective or to support students in need of credit recovery?

The credentialed, MA certified teachers provide synchronous instruction through weekly LiveLesson sessions, student- and teacher-initiated direct instruction. They serve as the teacher of record, respond to student-initiated email and telephone calls; grades assignments; moderates discussion boards; and assigns final grades. Our course catalog is aligned to Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and contains courses in the following categories for grades K-12: Core Courses, Advanced Courses (Advanced Placement), Elective Courses, CTE, World Languages, and National Test Prep. See below for new information about synchronous instructional opportunities offered through LiveLesson sessions.
Important details for 21-22 SY:
LiveLesson update:
- The frequency of LiveLessons vary by course. Core courses generally meet once/week, and electives meet every other week to monthly, depending on the course. Frequency of lessons will be shared at the start of school. Students may review recorded lessons or attend class live.
- New for SY2122, we will offer targeted, small group intervention sessions by invitation for students who are struggling to master broader concepts. We saw much greater demand for small group support versus attendance at LiveLessons in SY2021, so we have adjusted the frequency of LiveLessons and added this instructional opportunity.
- Expanded for SY2122, teachers will host three "Teacher Time" sessions (formerly known as office hours) each week. Students may drop in individually or work in small groups with their teacher. This schedule will be shared at the start of school.
- New live classroom sessions for Elementary students taking 3+ courses in SY2122:
- K-5 "Circle Time/Homeroom" every Monday and Friday. Homeroom Huddles on Monday, and DISH (Drop In and Say Hi) on Friday.
- K-2 literacy sessions offered every day of the week.
License update:
- All enrollment licenses are reusable, refillable. So if a student withdraws from a course, then you can reuse that course enrollment for any student who wants to take any course from the course catalog.
- There is no drop-period for licenses.
