Hi all. I'm hoping to get your opinion on the following
questions.

I work for an educational publisher, and we're interested
in learning about teachers' preferences around professional
development. We're thinking of creating some short courses
[for CEUs and/or graduate credit] which focus on fidelity
of implementation of our research-based digital and
textbook materials as well as strategies/best practices for
teaching in general. Among other types of learning tools,
these mini courses would include classroom footage of model
lessons in action with teachers and students.

Does this kind of offering sound like something which would
satisfy a need? If so, is this the kind of offering which
would typically be paid for by the school/district or by
the individual teacher (given a reasonable price point)?

Thanks for your feedback!
