Grants and Contracts Details
Description
Provide a brief overview of your project and the participants served.
Our partnership is using IEQ funds for the creation, field testing, revision, and deployment of six
online professional development short courses, or "modules," specifically targeting activities
designed to promote student success and readiness for high school, college and career. Most
modules involve conversion of existing face-to-face professional development materials into online
format, which leverages resources already invested for much broader consumption. Modules
created for this grant target important teacher learning needs in Kentucky, such as understanding
and utilizing the EPAS and providing intervention strategies in Core Content areas. These modules
take advantage of the full array of technology resources and online learning techniques available
through distance education, including video clips, group discussion threads, virtual group project
sites, blogs, wikis, tests, surveys, and assignment posting boards. Teachers who enroll in these
modules are therefore taking part in learning activities optimized for diverse adult learners and conducted in the context of their work environment-hence "embedded" professional development.
Of the six proposed modules, three are currently available, and will be offered to participants from
October 6 through October 27, and the remaining three modules will be available within the next two
weeks.
