Beyond Borders: Hallmarks of Effective K-12 Teaching Online
International Beliefs and Practices That Characterize Teacher Effectiveness
(2021)
Abstract
This synthesis of relevant research and practice publications examines, explains, and
illustrates the fivefold hallmarks of effective online teaching in K-12 learning contexts.
These attributes of online K-12 teaching excellence include technologically-informed
pedagogical content knowledge, or TP(A)CK; student-focused, curriculum-based,
contextually-sensitive pedagogical practice; awareness and astute implementation
of current online teaching standards; and demonstrated teacher presence, caring,
and engagement online. All of these aspects of effective online teaching combine to
catalyze and support engaged, communal, and digitally responsible student learning
online. The authors acknowledge that the empirical literature base for effective online
teaching in K-12 learning contexts, while growing, is still sparse, with considerably
more research having been completed and reported to date in higher education.
