Additional research is needed to acknowledge the increase in diversity of K-12 online learners. This study explores K-12 online teachers' perceived knowledge of the identities that may be present in their students and their perceived ability to meet the needs of these students. Using the MAKSST instrument which is designed to measure an individual's multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills, this study researched why K-12 online teachers felt they have a "good" understanding of the possible identities of their students and addressing their needs. However teachers state they are not confident in their understanding of gender and affectional orientation. Teachers noted that they did not feel adequately prepared to meet the needs of diverse online students and desired additional training in this area.
