The U. S. Department of Education has brought together some of the country's most effective teachers and practitioners to share the research-based practices and data analysis to make a difference in student achievement. These workshops have been taped and converted into free online courses delivered via video-streaming. The workshops are designed so teachers can experience on-demand professional development in specific content areas to increase their knowledge and skills for improving student achievement. To ensure access, all programs are closed captioned. Topics include English/Language Arts, Math/Science, and other (NCLB, differentiated instruction, standards, behavior). Credit is available in most states for completing the courses.
