Abstract
This qualitative case study examined professional educators’ beliefs and perceptions about K-12 online teaching endorsement (OTE) practices in the state of Georgia based on interviews with three University System of Georgia teacher educators, one Georgia K-12 virtual school administrator, and two Georgia K-12 virtual school educators plus personal narrative observations from the primary investigator. Data collected came from one-one-one semi-structured interviews, the personal narrative, and the Georgia OTE standards. Analysis showed that issues and concerns raised by the participants about current K-12 OTE preparation practices reflected real problems and challenges related to a lack of customized virtual educator training, educator perceptions or misconceptions about online instruction and technology knowledge, and virtual setting imperfections. Findings highlighted issues with current Georgia OTE standards perceived as training issues and barriers to success for virtual educators.
