The Learning Assistant (LA) model is a successful peer support model for increasing student learning gains, LA's content understanding, and recruitment of well-prepared K-12 science teachers. LAs are undergraduates who facilitate active learning in a classroom while simultaneously taking a course in pedagogy and working with the faculty instructor…

In this working group, we continue with previous efforts to consider design and research methodologies related to teacher learning in online professional development contexts. We then describe an innovative project designed to support the development of middle school mathematics teachers, with a focus on three distinct forms of online learning:…
