| Title | E-Learning Opportunities Now Available for Teachers |
| Body | The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) is pleased to announce that thousands of teachers have now viewed its new Teacher-to-Teacher free online professional development sessions, which focus on improving teachers' content knowledge and teaching skills in reading, math and science. The Department is continuing to work to support teachers by seeking state approval of these free, online professional development sessions. So far Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas have agreed to accept these e-learning sessions as credit toward teacher re-licensure. Arkansas, California, Colorado, Vermont and Wisconsin teachers need approval at the local level to receive credit. Many teachers are also using these sessions to earn credit or points to meet their state's High Objective Uniform State Standard of Evaluation (HOUSSE) to become highly qualified. Fifteen sessions are currently available online (www.ed.gov/teacherinitiative). In the next few months, eight additional sessions (below) will be added to the Web site. - Building Fluency: Do It Well and Do It Right, Scheduled for: 4/5/2005 - Monitoring Comprehension, Scheduled for: 3/8/2005 - Phonics: The Building Blocks of Early Reading, Scheduled for: 3/22/2005 - Early Steps Count: Teaching Arithmetic to Prepare Students for Algebra, Scheduled for: 2/24/2005 - Feedback: A Powerful Tool for Raising Student Achievement in Mathematics, Scheduled for: 3/29/2005 - Building Teacher Leaders, Scheduled for: 3/1/2005 - Exciting Teachers and Improving Student Achievement With Standards- Based Data, Scheduled for: 4/12/2005 U.S. Department of Education.
