Information Today Inc. Announces the Publication of "Online Teaching in K-12: Models, Methods, and Best Practices for Teachers and Administrators"
Medford, New Jersey (PRWEB) May 31, 2016 -- Information Today, Inc. (ITI) announced the publication of Online Teaching in K–12: Models, Methods, and Best Practices for Teachers and Administrators, edited by Sarah Bryans-Bongey and Kevin J. Graziano.
Bryans-Bongey and Graziano lead a team of expert contributors in this essential hands-on reference and textbook for education professionals seeking success in the planning, design, and teaching of K–12 online courses and programs. Online Teaching in K–12 is a skillfully edited book that brings together more than two dozen experts and practitioners to present an array of innovative models and methods, successful programs and practices, useful tools and resources, and need-to-know information on diverse aspects of online teaching and learning.
Organized in three parts—Foundations, Supporting Diverse Learners, and Implementation Strategies—Online Teaching in K–12 will be welcomed for its clear and timely coverage geared to supporting teachers, administrators, professional trainers, colleges, and schools in their quest for excellence in online primary education.
“The landscape of K–12 education has changed dramatically,” say editors Bryans-Bongey and Graziano. “Educators are challenged to adapt and respond to new opportunities in teaching and learning, including a shifting economy and the changing structure and demographics of the U.S. family.” Emerging technologies are the norm, and Online Teaching in K–12 serves as an essential guide for teachers and principals seeking not only to keep up, but to make the most of leading leading-edge challenges and opportunities.
Melissa Layne, editor-in-chief of American Public University System’s Internet Learning journal, calls Online Teaching in K–12, “A timely and thorough compendium focusing on theoretical frameworks, student diversity, and strategies for teaching and learning implementation in the K–12 space ... a must read for educators who are using online components in the classroom or wondering where to start.”
