Every public high school gets an IDEAL-NM course at no cost

FYI…
 
As part of an IDEAL-NM kickoff event to celebrate partnerships with schools statewide, it was announced this Monday, August 12th, 2008 that every public high school in New Mexico is eligible for a free IDEAL-NM course for the inaugural term (Fall 2008).  
 
The courses are led by New Mexico eTeachers that are highly qualified in both subject area and online methodologies and will work closely with in-school academic mentors. The courses are newly developed by NM teachers/developers and, will maintain low teacher-student ratios. IDEAL-NM has a commitment from the inaugural term forward to work with REC and school partners to continually improve the process and outcomes of this bold program for New Mexico.
