Abstract
School districts are increasingly turning to online professional development to provide educators opportunities for iterative and persistent improvement in critical areas of curriculum, assessment, instruction, and technology. Changes in student demographics in the United States and the development of technology have shown that virtual professional development (VPD) and virtual mentoring and coaching (VMC) for teachers of English learning students (ELs) has become a valuable means to support these teachers and their students. In the spring of 2020, Project MOOPIL provided online synchronous virtual mentoring and coaching to teachers across the state of Texas.
