Paying $ 25,000 up front for access to a self - hosted LMS may seem
too steep at first glance, but when you consider that the price tag includes a system installation and customization by trained professionals, who also cover staff training and
provide ongoing customer
support, you may find you've unearthed a bargain.
Conversely, teachers in private programs are often required to participate in off - site trainings or college coursework in the evenings or on the weekends.39 Even in public programs, resources for professional development are commonly
too limited to
provide intensive,
ongoing support such as coaching and mentoring.
