There is a growing need for professional development for teachers and principals that is needs-based as well as e-based. Traditional forms of professional development have taken the form of one-time workshops, “expert” speakers, lectures and other short-term sessions, which have become almost obsolete in today’s techno-savvy world. Research has shown that these traditional formats are no longer effective or attractive for today’s busy educators, who work in a society where there are shrinking budgets and time constraints, but where there is also a plethora of technological advances that can bring professional development directly to the individual. This paper takes the reader through the background of traditional and the growth of needs-based professional development, and proposes e-PD (electronic professional development) as an alternative to older, familiar forms of training. Examples of state and professional organizations that offer e-based or online professional development are given.
