Teach Math and Science Classes using Video Conferencing? I can do that!
Karen InsleyThe interest for video conference Math and Science classes (high school, college and dual credit classes) is in high demand across New York State. Now that you have had some experience teaching virtually, would you consider teaching to students in another school district? We will talk about the expressed interest, the current system in place and moving forward. Join us to learn more.
