Abstract

Education initiatives emphasize the need to use evidence-based practices (EBPs) in general and special education classrooms. To ensure effective teaching it is essential that teachers gain knowledge of EBPs and implement these practices with fidelity. Ongoing changes in teacher training programs (TTPs) such as the reduction in field experience hours and the impact of COVID-19 require exploring new models to support and supplement preservice learning of EBPs. This paper discusses how technologies such as online training modules and coaching can support the training of preservice teachers, and specifically looking, as an example, at the practices in the state of Israel.
