Supplemental Option
DVHS Supplemental Option
Welcome to the DoDEA Virtual High School Supplemental Option. Our original model of fully accredited online asynchronous courses with synchronous support by full-time DoDEA certified teachers has been offered as a supplemental option to DoDEA students worldwide in grades 9 -12Â since 2010. We offer over 85 courses, to include core classes, Advanced Placement courses and electives which are all aligned to DoDEA College and Career Readiness Standards.
Enrollment
Students interested in enrolling in supplemental DVHS courses should contact their local DoDEA high school counselor, the Non-DoD Schools Program (NDSP) Office in their geographic location, or submit an Expanded Eligibility application to initiate course requests. All requests will be forwarded to DVHS staff to place students in coursework according to course and teacher availability at the time of course request and contingent upon DoDEA eligibility.
Role of the Facilitator for the DVHS Supplemental Program
In addition to interacting with your online instructor, a facilitator in the student's local school provides monitoring as needed to ensure student success and serves as a liaison between the online teacher and student.
Facilitators provide support by:
- Encouraging students to communicate with instructors, stay on task, and meet course deadlines.
- Communicating with DVHS instructor(s), local administration, and counselors regarding student status (i.e., extended absences or illness, extenuating circumstances, withdrawal).
- Being located in the same classroom/area where students are participating in coursework via computers.
- Monitoring DVHS student progress via grade reports and taking an interest in the student's progress in the course.
- Proctoring assessments to include tests and exams.
- Liaising with parents and communicate as appropriate to DVHS staff.
- Providing limited technical assistance as appropriate and coordinate with Educational Technologists (local and DVHS) as needed.
