Why is online PD attractive/effective?
• Share your ideas in this padlet– http://bit.ly/hbspd
Models for implementation: maximizing learning
opportunities
Districts and schools should determine which model best serves the needs of their educators and can
best be supported by available resources.
Cohort or PLC with an on-site facilitator: Synchronous or blended learning
Cohort or PLC with an on-site facilitator: Synchronous or blended learning
• LEA appointed on-site facilitator guides and monitors progress. • Educators complete the module as a group.• Participants work independently online and collaboratively face-to-
face.• Facilitator is present with the team during group meetings. • Facilitator leads and coordinates discussions, implements timelines,
sets beginning and end dates, and coordinates meetings. • Face-to-face meetings can occur during PLC meetings, staff
meetings, or department meetings, before and after school, during half-day sessions, or as decided by the LEA.

• Similar to last model except that the facilitator and learners meet online not face-to-face.
• Districts provide facilitator and a means of online interaction .
• Communication can be– asynchronous manner (where participants do not have to be
present at the same time) Ex. Edmodo, LMS like Moodle, blogs wikis etc.
– synchronously (when the group meets in “real-time” on a regular, scheduled basis). Ex. Go-to-Meeting, Adobe Connect.

Though we strongly recommend using a facilitator to maximize learning from the modules….
• A group of educators can work together as a team.• Start and complete the module together. • Arrange for times to meet and hold group discussions.
Independent learning
Cohort or PLC with an online instructor
Cohort or PLC with an online instructor• NCDPI will provide a section of the course.• Access to Moodle will be provided.• LEA must provide a trained and qualified
instructor for each section. • Instructor will be able to teach a separate section
of the module.• The instructor has the ability to customize the
modules somewhat through discussion forums and incorporation of more collaborative learning.
