Abstract:

“This chapter describes the pragmatic actions and processes taken both proactively and reactively by one Educator Preparation Program (EPP) associated with the professional development of preservice teachers relative to instruction in both blended and online learning environments. Actions taken include programmatic curricular changes and collaborative partnerships with virtual learning school partners. Completion rate for Clinicals or student teaching was one hundred percent due to quick response and actions designed for success in the online classroom. Teacher preparation must include design and execution of instruction in online learning to address student learning needs and ensure classes continue without interruption.”
