Teacher Education Goes Into Virtual Schooling (TEGIVS)

About TEGIVS

Teacher Education Goes into Virtual Schooling (TEGIVS) is a national project leading preservice teacher education programs across the U.S. and the world. Its curriculum development and research prepare future teachers for the twenty-first century phenomenon of K-12 distance education (Virtual Schooling), through which all ages of students are learning from a teacher who is not located in their school. Students in all U.S. states are engaging in VS and the number is growing exponentially. A key to effective practice is teacher support in each student's location, thus, there is a pressing need to prepare all teachers for VS. TEGIVS will provide a model to incorporate VS in teacher education training for preservice programs across the U.S.
