[quote=Anonymous]There is a need in certain subjects, higher level computer science, math, science and language courses are often not offered because there are not qualified teachers and/or not enough students ready for the course to justify the use of an allocated teacher- a principal won’t have on level classes at 30+ to offer a section of an above level course for 15.

OPs idea could work, especially in the form of a partnership where an extra teacher was available one period a day to teach the course.  Would experienced teachers push back, possibly, but in thinking about deploying this to the highest levels where there are few qualified teachers it could work.  Said teachers would teach and grade, but not have hone rooms or other duties assigned.  They would likely teach first period or maybe last period so as to not completely take over their day.  Many colleges have teachers for just one course- granted it’s a totally different structure, but with the teaching shortage and lack of rigor to keep some advanced kids engaged, we need to try something!
