Online Teaching in K-12, 2nd Edition
Models, Methods, and Best Practices for Teachers and Administrators
Edited by Sarah Bryans-Bongey and Kevin J. Graziano, foreword by Norman Vaughan
Since the publication of the first edition of Online Teaching in K–12, education has undergone two seismic shifts: the pivot to online teaching necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of generative artificial intelligence tools for the classroom.
This updated second edition takes these developments into account, serving as a hands-on reference for education professionals—teachers, administrators, program managers, policy makers, and faculty in teacher preparation programs—who are seeking success in the planning, design, and teaching of K–12 online courses and programs.
2025 | ISBN: 978-1-57387-615-5 | 415 pp/softbound | $39.50
