The sudden switch in spring had been hard enough; few of the state\u2019s teachers had been trained in remote education or in keeping off-site students engaged.<\/p>\n<p>They needed help. That\u2019s when the University of Mary Washington\u2019s College of Education (COE) stepped up. In collaboration with Continuing and Professional Studies (CPS) at UMW, a Summer Virtual Teaching Series quickly emerged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been an exciting opportunity to share the experience and knowledge of the College of Education faculty with local schoolteachers,\u201d said Kristina Peck, UMW\u2019s Director of Clinical Experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In just four weeks, based on local educators\u2019 input, UMW prepared six one-credit professional-development courses providing best practices in online instruction. Despite the tight schedule, UMW didn\u2019t sacrifice quality, said Kimberly Young, CPS executive director. The classes had to meet the same standards as other COE courses.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2020\\\/07\\\/16\\\/umw-supports-k-12-teachers-in-online-teaching\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px;

The courses have offered training in online instruction, but just as importantly, they have placed teachers right where their students will be this fall: facing the challenges presented by remote learning.<\/p>\n<p>A student might have trouble logging on to a site, Young said, or downloading materials and assignments. \u201cThese are real things that are going to happen, and the teachers [in our program] experience it themselves,\u201d she said. \u201cThey gain personal insight and empathy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The classes cover teaching tools, planning, and options for delivering assignments. Among the topics are elementary instruction, foundations of online teaching, secondary instruction in science and mathematics, ways to support students with specialized learning needs, and K-12 assessment. The series supports Virginia SOL standards and helps teachers inspire critical and creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>As a public university, Mary Washington is eager to help local citizens when needs arise. UMW couldn\u2019t have delivered these classes so quickly without the collaboration of area schools and teachers \u2013 and it was facilitated by the College of Education\u2019s longstanding relationships with area school divisions.<\/p>\n<p>According to COE Dean Peter Kelly, each year UMW places more than 350 students in partner schools for a range of hands-on learning. \u201cOur ability to be successful in teacher preparation is contingent upon the success of our partner schools,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a college of education in a public university, we have a responsibility to be actively involved in the life of our partner schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her role as director of clinical experience, Peck works closely with area school divisions. She helps place UMW students in classrooms, and she supports initiatives such as Virginia\u2019s Teachers for Tomorrow program for recruiting high school students into the teaching profession.<\/p>\n<p>Developing the summer virtual learning series was a natural fit for Peck.<\/p>\n<p>Local divisions are already seeing the benefits. Stafford County Public Schools educator Monica VanHusen worked closely with UMW to register county teachers in the program. The classes are focused on skills she and her colleagues need, she said, and UMW offered them just in time for the August return to teaching.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2020\\\/07\\\/16\\\/umw-supports-k-12-teachers-in-online-teaching\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px;
