Teacher receptiveness toward web-based training and support

This paper describes a training and support website for teachers of the All Stars problem behavior prevention program. Training and support were primarily provided with instructional tips sent via e-mail. A personalized teaching calendar and discussion forum were also offered. Telephone interviews were conducted with nine teachers who used the website. Teachers also completed survey items on the usefulness of e-mail tips. All teachers reported using the online teaching calendar and e-mail tips and found these modes of support easy to use and helpful. Fewer teachers used the discussion forum and other modes of support. Implications of these findings are discussed.
