Courses for Teachers & Educators
A continuing education program has to be flexible, comprehensive, and current, and we pride ourselves on all three.
Here are the subject areas in our current online course offerings:
Everyone remembers the teachers who made a
difference in their lives...
Maybe it was 3rd grade, or 7th, or high school. Perhaps it was math, or history, or music, or art. The grade or subject area is really irrelevant. What mattered was that the teacher saw you, understood what you needed, and treated you with respect.
Being a teacher is a lifelong pursuit. It is a combination of continuing education courses, reading, passion, creativity, and dedication. You must often deal with classrooms that are overcrowded, budgets that are underfunded, communities that are a little out of touch, or parents who may or may not be engaged. It is a career that requires professional development, networking and personal growth.
