<p>Do you know of other ways that Multivariate Calculus has been offered, beyond having a class taught by a teacher in each high school? Our district has never had enough kids in any high school to fill a class, so it hasnt been offered. However, there are many students who take Calc BC during their junior year and are then on their own to figure out how to take math during their senior year. </p>
<p>As an example, Georgia Tech partners with certain school districts to allow high school students to take GT Calc 2 and 3 remotely during the school day from their own schools. They then get college credit. </p>
<p>What other options should our district consider, in addition to GTs model?</p>
<p>Our district has hired a very effective and dynamic math teacher that offered an online course for Linear Algebra last year, and is offering online Calc 3 this year. He tapes his lectures, posts assignments, and uses discussion boards. He has a small number of students from each school that participates. It works well this way, as the class is not required to be during one period, it can be any time during the day. He has an agreement with the local community college where the students take their test at the end of the year, and then get the direct community college credit.</p>
<p>That’s exactly what I was looking for. Are other districts offering this? Or are there other ways to offer math for students who are ready for classes beyond the traditional ones?</p>
<p>Has anyone else see any other good ideas? Have schools given math credit for self study of the free college classes that are online (<a href=“http://www.academicearth.org…)?%5B/url%5D”>www.academicearth.org…)?</a></p>
<p>Most schools in our area allow students to leave school and take a class at a local CC or University. May not be feasible for everyone who is qualified, but it is an option.</p>
<p>Many schools have community college dual enrollment for stuff like that. Also, there’s always online courses, like Northwestern’s CTD, Johns Hopkins’ CTY, or Stanford’s EPGY. I don’t think that schools usually give credit for self-studied classes, but I’d still ask.</p>
<p>Do you know if it’s possible for schools to contract directly with EPGY or the others to offer a class to a group of students (with the school paying)?</p>
<p>I checked and found out that CTY partners with schools, bit EPGY does not. EPGY only does for K-7. CTY looks like a great option. They offer Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus. Thank you for the suggestion.</p>
