Online Technologies to Enhance MSP Teacher Quality Programs

这项为期一年的设计研究的重点是利用信息和通信技术来加强MSP内的职前教育和在职专业发展计划。该项目的五项主要任务是：(1)开发资源，向MSP介绍在线专业发展的方法，基于站点的专业发展的在线增强，以及支持专业学习社区的在线工具和技术；(2)为一组MSP项目提供咨询服务，这些项目决定在其教学改进计划中使用在线技术；(3)提供能力建设计划，使MSP能够发展能力，将有效的在线专业发展纳入其项目；(4)与使用在线技术的中期战略计划的评估者合作，为这些项目、其他中期战略计划和一般专业发展领域的未来实践提供信息；以及，(5)评估在中期战略计划项目中利用和潜在利用在线支持来提高教师质量的情况，以便在中期战略计划学习网络范围内提出扩大这一领域的技术援助、评估和研究的可能的后续建议。

This one-year design study focuses on the use of information and communications technologies to enhance both pre-service education and in-service professional development programs within the MSPs. The project's five key tasks are to: (1) develop resources to inform the MSPs about approaches to online professional development, online enhancements for site-based professional development, and online tools and techniques to support professional learning communities; (2) provide consultation services for a set of MSP projects that decide to use online technologies in their teaching enhancement programs; (3) offer a capacity-building program that will enable MSPs to develop the capacity to incorporate effective online professional development within their projects; (4) collaborate with the evaluators of the MSPs that use online technologies to inform future practices of those projects, other MSPs, and the field of professional development in general; and, (5) assess the use and potential use of online supports for improving teacher quality across the MSP projects, to inform a possible follow-up proposal to expand technical assistance, evaluation, and research in this area, within the MSP Learning Network.
