The academic program for the E-Teacher Professional Development Workshop has two components: project development and academic workshops.
Project Goal
By the end of the Workshop, all participants will have completed a professional development (PD) plan uniquely suited to their local EFL context. This plan should disseminate widely the knowledge and skills learned through the U.S. Department of State's E-Teacher Scholarship Program. The training plan can be a continuation of the final project participants developed in their online E-Teacher course or a newly designed project based on participants' combined experiences in their online course and the three-week summer program.
The Scholars' Conference Schedule for the 2012 summer workshop is available here.

Project Format
At UMBC, instructional systems design or ISD is widely used to develop effective training programs. The ISD ADDIE Model will be used to help guide the development, implementation, and evaluation.
Note: Workshop participants will receive instruction on the ADDIE model during the program, but can get some basic information here.
