Audrey Bartholomew presents at聽Council for Exceptional Children鈥檚 Teacher Education Division conference

Audrey Bartholomew, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Education, recently delivered two presentations at the Council for Exceptional Children鈥檚 Teacher Education Division conference in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The first presentation, titled 鈥淲hat Do We Know About Online Teacher Preparation for Special Education?鈥 discussed the preliminary results of a literature review on online teacher preparation programs in special education. Results indicate that there has been relatively little research conducted when compared with the pace of implementation of online teacher special education programs.

The second presentation,鈥淯sing Peer-Assessment in an Online, Graduate Education Course,鈥 was a description of the research study Bartholomew engaged in as part of her work with the Teacher Scholars Program at 成人直播. This research indicates that students who engaged in peer assessment found the process favorable and also improved their perception of peer collaboration in online courses.
