A FREE online course site generated out of Stanford Univeristy.  Similar to Khan Academy but actually provides grading and the ability to study with others.  Well worth a look as it includes mini courses such as "Surviving Your Rookie Year of Teaching: 3 Key Ideas & High Leverage Techniques"  and other teacher-oriented coourses.  To quote them: "When you take one of our classes, you will watch lectures taught by world-class professors, learn at your own pace, test your knowledge, and reinforce concepts through interactive exercises. When you join one of our classes, you'll also join a global community of thousands of students alongside you."
