SCHOOL COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Select and assist facilitators.
• Recruit students for distance learning courses and coordinate the registration process.
• Monitor organizational, operational and technical aspects of distance learning courses.

CLASSROOM FACILITATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

The Kentucky Department of Education does not require course facilitators be certified teachers (with the exception of the Humanities course) although it is recommended. State law requires that the facilitator remain in the classroom at all times during the class period. Other responsibilities are:

• Maintain classroom order and discipline.
• Keep accurate daily attendance records and oversee any make-up work.
• Administer/grade tests, monitor homework assignments and maintain records including grades and progress of the students.
• Assist students with work and provide guidance and support for students.

• Initiate contact with KET to resolve all technical difficulties.
• Communicate with teacher by phone and through electronic mail.
• Operate various equipment used in the classroom such as telephone, VCR and computers.
• Have a general interest in the course and technology.

Some courses are more demanding of the facilitator. If you have questions or concerns about the level of responsibility, please contact the individual course instructors. The phone number and e-mail address of each instructor is listed in the Course Description pages, or you may call KET at (800) 333-9764.
