Abstract	There is a lack of self-efficacy of teachers in meeting the needs of students with health conditions, in particular, seizures. This can be linked to a lack of knowledge and education. Interventions/Methods: To improve teachers' self-efficacy when working with students with seizure disorders, an online educational module was created. Teachers in a Pennsylvania high school accessed and completed this educational tool. Volunteers completed the Scale of Attitudes Towards Persons with Epilepsy (ATPE) as a pre- and post-test survey. Results: Thirty-four teachers completed both the pre- and post-test. A match pair t-test showed a statistically significant increase in the overall mean related to teachers' attitude and knowledge after completing the learning module. Conclusions: Results of this pilot study show that the use of an online educational seizure module has a positive impact on increasing self-efficacy of teachers working with students with seizure disorders.
