One challenge of the COVID pandemic was shifting in-person professional learning for teachers to an online or virtual setting as many programs were developed for in-person learning. This webinar shares promising practices from two EIR grantee projects which successfully transitioned professional learning to an online format. The facilitator and grantees engage in a discussion on what online/virtual PD can look like, format considerations, and when virtual PD is most effective. The conversation focuses on the core elements of successful and engaging online professional development, the most effective on-line learning formats, such as shifting from full in-person to asynchronous and hybrid learning option, and the unintended positive outcomes of shifting to virtual PD.
