Preparing K-3 Teachers to Use Evidence-Based Practices to Teach Foundational Reading Skills MOOC-Ed

To advance teachers’ use of evidence-based practices to teach foundational reading skills to K-3 students, this project will: (1) provide an online MOOC-Ed course for teachers and teacher educators; (2) develop competency-based assessments of teachers’ knowledge and practices; (3) work with NCDPI, school districts and UNC-GA to integrate the project resources into comprehensive professional development programs; and (4) conduct an evaluation to inform ongoing improvements of the course.
