Special Education Students in Virtual Schools: How they get there, why, and are they satisfied.

• In Event: SMT - Issues in Diversity, Distant Education, Standards and Ethics

Short Description

There is little research on special education students’ school satisfaction and none in a virtual school. This is important because of the rigorous process that these students undergo when considering a school. The purpose of this study is to better understand what a special education student goes through when enrolling in a virtual school. Results will also indicate the reasons that special education students left their previous school and whether they were satisfied with it.
