Benefitsofsuchacontinuingeducationprogramforteachers: The positive effects and benefits for teachers as a result of implementing this subject-specific online continuing education program with subject-specific instructional materials and subject-specific mentoring teacher access are:

1) Teachers entering the profession from schools of education (approximately 60% of teachers) and those who have been recruited to enter the teaching field from other occupations (alternative certification, the remaining approximately 40%) will have access, not previously available, to online continuing education courses specific to the subject matter courses they have been assigned to teacher for the first time;

2) Experienced teachers who may have been successful in achieving student learning gains over the years but now have new assignments or are unavoidably assigned out of field;

3) Enabling teachers to have a more positive effect in the classroom and improve student learning in a subject the teacher has never taught before;

4) As decades of research have shown, better qualified teachers lead to improved student achievement, learning and outcomes including graduation rates, college and workforce readiness;

5) Less teacher stress, frustration and a slowing of the loss of teachers to other professions.
