6. Are reliable and dependable self-starters consistent with completing work in an environment with a lack of day-to-day supervision.

The “successful online teacher profile”
Not in any priority. All are important
1. Able to clearly communicate in an efficient yet full manner, such that opportunity for misunderstanding is minimized.
2. Able to create lessons and assignments which do not rely on further teacher explanation but which fully cover and teach the lesson in creative and inviting ways for subsequent independent learning.
3. Understand the level to which they are teaching as well as the difference between busy work and essential work, not overloading the student.
4. Able to respond in a timely and effective manner to all student and parent communications.
5. Able to maintain composure and level-headedness upon reading an abusive or malicious email from either students or parents, choosing not to respond immediately but rather to wait until emotions have cleared.
6. Able to work in geographic isolation from both students and fellow teachers.
7. Able and willing to communicate regularly with fellow teachers for the sharing of ideas, professional development, etc.
8. Able to embrace and learn the technology resources as the new tools of the trade.
9. Able to be a resource-based teacher and not a textbook-based teacher.
10. Able to create a sense of community and “belonging” within the virtual classroom(s).
11. Able to move from a traditional teacher model to a mentor-tutor model.
