Back = **What Online Teachers Need to Know and Do: A Guide to Professional Development for Online High School Teachers** =

//What do online teachers need to know and do? How can we balance effectiveness and efficiency in the delivery of professional development? How can we effectively evaluate teachers' progress against online teaching standards and competencies? How can we measure the effectiveness of our professional development programs?//

//Participants will join a panel of experts in professional development for online teachers to investigate best practices in answer to these questions. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of what has worked -- and what hasn't -- in their programs. Topics for discussion will include://


 * NACOL, SREB, and NETS-T standards
 * Synchronous v. asynchronous delivery mechanisms and tools
 * Budgeting for professional development
 * Getting teacher and administrator buy-in
 * Implementing a robust evaluation program
 * On-going professional development topics and delivery for veteran online teachers

In addition to the concrete strategies they will glean through collaboration and discussion at this session, participants will leave with sample professional development syllabi and implementation ideas and templates for teacher evaluation rubrics and personal professional development plans.
