The Status of Professional Development for K-12 Online Teachers in Honor of National Distance Learning Week
The North American Council for Online Learning (NACOL) released a white paper in partnership with Boise State University, Going Virtual! The Status of Professional Development for K-12 Online Teachers, in honor of National Distance Learning Week, November 12-16, 2007. The report outlines the results from phase one of the Going Virtual! study series conducted by Lisa Dawley and Kerry Rice from Boise State University. This report provides a national snapshot and answers two main questions: (1) what practices and models of teacher professional development are being used in K-12 virtual schools and programs across the country and (2) what factors influence the design of professional development (PD)? Some very distinct trends were identified.
