This Week at Tapped In (June 6-12)

Professional Development for Educators:

***************************************

Vision: Transforming teacher professional development online

Research has shown that student achievement is directly linked to teacher quality. State and national teaching standards provide a framework for teachers' professional
growth that requires teachers to engage in ongoing professional development
throughout their careers. The increasing demand for continuous professional
development means that providers must expand face-to-face programs to include
online activities and content that engage teachers anytime, anywhere. The
growing recognition that no single organization can satisfy teachers' ongoing
professional development needs requires that educators and providers form
communities to share strategies, resources, and support. Tapped In was
developed to support this vision.
