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

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.
