Teachers’ Domain Professional Development (www.teachersdomain.org/courses), a series of online courses for K-12 educators, provides teachers with exciting multimedia resources for their classrooms, enhances their knowledge of science concepts, and presents effective methodologies and strategies for inspiring students. Teachers’ Domain Professional Development courses integrate inquiry learning with streaming video and interactive experiences from award-winning public television science programs and Web sites, including NOVA, ZOOM, and A Science Odyssey. Using this model, teachers discover first-hand how stimulating learning with multimedia can be. The media, coupled with thought-provoking activities and opportunities to enter online discussions with peers, were designed to increase teachers’ breadth and depth of content knowledge in science and, by extension, improve student achievement in science. The first three courses available are Teaching Elementary Life Science, Teaching Elementary Physical Science, and Teaching Middle School Life Science. Additional courses, including those for high school teachers, are expected to launch in 2005. All course content corresponds to the National Science Education Standards and the MCREL Compendium of K-12 Standards. “The courses are designed to assist teachers in two ways – to expand their knowledge of science concepts and to provide a range of effective strategies for use in teaching those concepts,” explains Ted Sicker, Executive Producer. “And the multimedia format of Teachers’ Domain Professional Development provides the optimal model for scientific exploration – using a range of resources beyond the textbook.” Teachers who completed the Teaching Elementary Life Science course described the curriculum as fully developed, well-organized, and thought-provoking. “This online science course has been the most beneficial professional course I have ever taken!” exclaimed one participant. “The course design gives teachers a great background on the concepts and outstanding multimedia resources to use for introducing these concepts to students.” Another participant added, “The videos made me rethink what a scientist does.” Information about the courses, licensing opportunities, and technical requirements is available at http://www.teachersdomain.org/courses/. Teachers’ Domain Professional Development builds upon Teachers’ Domain www.teachersdomain.org, an online multimedia library of K-12 science resources correlated to national and state standards. Funded by the National Science Foundation as part of National Science Digital Library, Teachers’ Domain includes lesson plans, background essays, and customization features for introducing multimedia resources into the classroom. WGBH is the leading producer of PBS prime-time programs and online content, a major producer for public radio, and a pioneer in educational multimedia (including the Web, broadband, and interactive television) and in technologies and services that make media accessible for people with disabilities. WGBH is also recognized as one of the nation’s leading producers of media-based resources to support teacher training and student learning. Focusing on both content and methodology at all grade levels, these products represent effective standards-based teaching in classrooms across the country, and address a wide variety of subject areas and educational challenges.
