SCHOOL COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
It is strongly recommended that the school principal or assistant principal serve as the coordinator. It is essential that KET be able to contact the school coordinator throughout the year. As part of the responsibilities/requirements, the school coordinator must:
- Be physically located at the school.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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 1-800-333-9764.
