I n this session, online and blended instructors, as well as program leaders, will discuss professional development strategies and pre-service preparation for online and blended teachers. The session will be highly interactive, with multiple round table discussions to identify successful practices and address key professional development challenges online and blended teachers face. We will also identify areas where the professional development needs of online and blended teachers may differ, as well as address the need for ongoing professional development through both formal training or courses as well as through the development of personal learning networks. Participants will review the iNACOL National Standards for Quality Online Teaching as a foundation for the session. Key takeaways from the session will be collected and shared.=====
