“…There is evidence that face-to-face professional development can (a) enhance student outcomes when based on the core features of effective professional development (e.g., Desimone, 2009;Johnson & Fargo, 2010;Penuel, Fishman, Yamaguchi, & Gallagher, 2007), (b) promote teaching with technology in classrooms (e.g., Sadik, 2008), and (c) benefit SWLDs (e.g., Harris, Graham, & Adkins, 2015).
