Abstract

Strengthening the working relationships among professional education faculty and between university personnel and cooperating teachers in the field are worthy goals. Time and distance, as well as busy workloads make ongoing interaction challenging for all. The purpose of this paper is to describe the start-up of two online community centers for teacher educators. One of these communities is intended to serve the needs of university faculty and administrators, field supervisors and cooperating teachers involved with mentoring student teachers in a School of Education's initial teacher license programs. The other community serves to support teacher educators at member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, an international higher education association of intentionally Christian colleges and universities. Rationale for the development of these online communities is provided, as well as a description and functions of each.
