Fri, April 4, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Convention Center, Floor: 200 Level, 204BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
As this year’s Annual Meeting theme alludes, recent technological innovations bring powerful new opportunities for effective and efficient teacher professional development (PD). This proposed session, including four papers, delves into the unique affordances and constraints of using web-mediated technologies to provide early childhood teachers with support around language and literacy instruction. Specifically, two papers focus on what content or information best engenders change in teacher practice, and two papers focus on how coaches can best provide individualized feedback to teachers. An expert discussant highlights key themes and critical next steps. As a whole, the session presents promising practices from cutting-edge projects regarding how to optimize web-mediated teacher PD for early language and literacy.
