About Virtual Arkansas:
Virtual Arkansas's (VA) mission is to equip, engage, and empower students through unique digital opportunities. As the State of Arkansas's Virtual School (SVS), we partner with local schools to provide course opportunities to students that might not otherwise be available with local resources. Virtual Arkansas is not an online school or a diploma-granting institution but serves as a resource for supplementing the education of local students.

Virtual Arkansas's program is implemented through a partnership between the Arkansas Department of Education and the Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives. Virtual Arkansas offers a variety of instructional services and teachers may be assigned to different services based on organizational needs. This position will teach courses to high school students in a blended learning environment and will be employed through Southeast Education Service Cooperative in Monticello, AR.

Virtual Arkansas maintains a comprehensive catalog of courses that were created to fully align to the Arkansas Curriculum Standards or other learning outcomes defined by credit-granting entities, such as Advanced Placement or Institutions of Higher Education offering concurrent course offerings in partnership with Virtual Arkansas. Because of the unique nature of our organization, Virtual Arkansas online teachers also serve as subject matter experts who engage in ongoing curriculum and assessment design tasks aimed at assuring the quality of Virtual Arkansas online courses and the alignment of content, assessments, and instructional practice.

Expectations for Virtual Arkansas Teachers:
Adopted in 2023, the Virtual Arkansas Online teacher is evaluated using a unique evaluation instrument, A Crosswalk of the NSQ Teaching Standards and the Danielson Framework. This crosswalk instrument was designed to better articulate the responsibilities of online instructors and to be used by evaluators for use in providing better support to teachers assigned in a variety of learning environments, including online, hybrid, and blended.

While the majority of the standards and their components presented in the Crosswalk reflect traditional teacher responsibilities related to instruction, grading, communication, and professional practice, Standard E (NSQOT 2025) specifies expectations that are specific to online teachers and describes their unique responsibilities related to curriculum development and the curation of research-based instructional materials, tools, and strategies found to be effective in an online learning environment.

(

Please Note:

the National Standards of Quality for Online Teaching were revised in 2025 and an updated crosswalk with the Danielson Framework is in progress for development and adoption).
