Creating High Quality online PD for PK-12



Session Title: Creating a High Quality Online Professional Development Program for PK-12 Educators Tuesday July 21 2 pm

This was presented by a private company Shultz Institute which does PD for Florida. They provided a good outline to think about as one develops a program. Who are the key players - lots of roles to fill
  • system admins
  • instructional designers
  • subject matter experts
Question must be answered - who is the audience that will attend the PD offered?

Required - Course Creation system - an internal systems to make it all work;
a course request system so that staff can request an online PD course that meets their needs

Questions to be answered;
  • who owns the course
  • is it facilitated
  • who updates the course
  • is it new or existing package that needs updated
Required - Course development system
these must be;
  • aligned with an online course rubric
  • use this to create an empty course shell/template
Use ADDIE model Analyze Design Develop Implement Evaluate

Required - Course  Implementation System
Facilitators be held to a Standard Operating Procedure
  • minimally they must respond to participants within 48 hours
  • report data
  • close course
  • communicate and enforce completion etc..
 IMHO APS needs especially the course creation system to empower teachers to ask for the training they want. I believe we have the Course Development and Course Implementation in place.
