Supporting Provisionally-Licensed Teachers Using eCoaching in a Distributed Internship

There is a critical shortage of special education teachers. To address this shortage, states have allowed alternative licensure paths such as issuing provisional licenses in order for individuals to take teaching positions while they complete coursework for the teaching license. These provisionally-licensed teachers are expected to fill the roles of fully-licensed teachers on day one. In this paper, we describe a pilot program for provisionally-licensed teachers in which we incorporated eCoaching and bug-in-ear coaching in the first semester and second semester of coursework. Results are largely positive. Implications are discussed.
