PBS TeacherLine(R) Debuts National Program With New Online Courses to Help Schools Meet 'Highly Qualified' Teacher Mandates of NCLB

Gearing up to meet the explosive demand for teacher training courses, PBS TeacherLine(R) today launches a national professional development program. PBS TeacherLine, the nation's trusted provider of facilitated, online professional development for preK-12 educators, offers 80 courses. These courses aim to enhance teacher quality and address competency requirements under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. "We've researched and developed these courses in collaboration with PBS member stations during a four year pilot period," said Rob Ramsdell, senior director of PBS TeacherLine. "Our goal is to provide superior professional development experiences to teachers nationwide. We know the American public trusts PBS to provide award-winning educational programming to our nation's schools. PBS TeacherLine offers high-quality professional development to our nation's teachers because the better our teachers are prepared, the more effective students will learn." http://teacherline.pbs.org/teacherline/
