T.H.E. Journal (1/6, Schaffhauser) reports that Tutor.com, "a company that provides online tutoring services has received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to create an on-demand professional development system specifically to train middle school and high school math teachers." The money will go toward a program for researching "the effects of connecting math teachers to an online teaching coach for private help in a Web-based classroom whenever they need additional support. A third-party evaluator will then design and complete a study to measure the effectiveness of the project." The research is slated for publication "at the end of 2012."
