What EDUX Participants Are Saying

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from educators who spent their summer making a difference on their terms.

I feel like this course is a giant “Thank You” to teachers. The course allows you to reflect on your current practice and decide what you really need to help set you up for success in the upcoming school year. Teachers often say they need more time. They need time to prepare, time to plan, time to set up their rooms, time to set up resources that they are excited about, and this course allows that time.

What sets this course apart is that we are able to actually put our learning into practice. Not only do we get to invest time and energy into making ourselves better educators but we also get to learn from each other. I love being a part of the exit interviews because I learn so much from my fellow teachers.

The short answer is Yes. While the course content may change slightly, the structure of the course remains the same. Many educators take this course annually, submitting different goals, projects and evidence.
Our EDUX Summer Course is a graduate-level course from Dominican University of California, accredited by Western Association of School and Colleges (WASC).

Credit selection is based on the scope of the work you plan to complete.

For the project portion of the course, the expectation is 25 hours per credit, which includes time spent actively working on your projects, documenting your progress, and connecting your work to your professional goals.

As a graduate-level course, additional time typically comes from planning, reflection, and preparation for the final meeting.

Most educators find they naturally meet or exceed these hours, as they are working on projects already connected to their role and goals.

A good rule of thumb:
👉 Choose the number of credits that matches the size of the project you plan to complete this summer.
