Essential Principles of High-Quality Online Teaching: Guidelines for Evaluating K-12 Online Teachers.
A checklist identifies essential qualities of online teaching to help states and schools select, train, and evaluate online teachers. It discusses: state qualifications (the extent to which the teacher meets the state standards for professional teaching); curriculum, instruction, and student assessment (the extent to which the teacher meets the criteria in such areas as promoting student participation and interaction and using online resources effectively to deliver instruction); management (the extent to which the teacher meets the criteria in such areas as providing students with timely feedback and ensuring that students’ work and data are secure); and evaluation (the extent to which the teacher meets the criteria in such areas as understanding that student success is an important measure of course success and ensuring that students participate actively in the course).
