Because it takes a variety of skills to teach our diverse students, program faculty must meet a variety of standards to join the instructional team. They must be technically proficient (either through 1+ years experience as a software developer in the language in which they are teaching, and/or through earning Eleven Fifty's digital badges and completing our trainee program) and they must be pedagogically proficient in the Eleven Fifty Academy Curriculum (either by shadow teaching and/or completing our trainee program). We use a team teaching approach to make sure that each learner has the opportunity to learn in the way they learn best. Note high standards are maintained by both qualitative and quantitative reviews. Weekly student surveys allow students to express direct feedback, but also comparisons across cohorts surface any concerns about instructional quality of which students may not be aware.
