Supporting K-12 Educators’ Professional Development Continuity: A Forecasting Approach for Curating Online Resources for Emergency Preparedness Planning

Abstract

This study, presented as a research poster for the 2023 AECT conference, identifies critical online professional development (PD) resources to support the PD continuity of about 38,000 K-12 educators as part of an emergency remote teaching (ERT) resource. The 2019, 2020, and 2021 academic year forecasting analyses showed 84 of the 537 online modules for ERT curation. The findings have implications for program evaluation in day-to-day operations and long-term emergency planning.
