In every school, in every grade, there are teachers making a difference—quietly, daily, and often without the recognition they deserve. These educators aren’t just teaching subjects; they’re shaping futures. And to keep doing this vital work well, they need support, growth, and flexibility. That’s exactly what DominicanCaOnline offers through its continuing education courses for teachers: online, graduate-level opportunities that meet educators where they are—whether in a kindergarten classroom, a high school gym, or a music room in between.
This is professional development built for educators who live in the real world. With more than a dozen subject areas and courses that earn graduate-level continuing education units, these offerings empower teachers to pursue personal growth, meet certification or salary advancement goals, and reignite their passion for teaching—all without stepping away from their classrooms.
Designed with Teachers’ Lives in Mind
Professional learning should never feel like punishment. For too long, continuing education has been synonymous with outdated materials, inconvenient scheduling, and content that doesn’t connect to the realities of the classroom. DominicanCaOnline changes that by offering 100% online, asynchronous courses that prioritize flexibility without sacrificing substance.
These courses are structured to work around busy teaching schedules—not against them. Whether it’s late at night, during a planning period, or over summer break, teachers can choose when and how they complete coursework. And because the classes are offered in partnership with Dominican University of California, the academic integrity and accreditation are never in question.
Each course earns graduate-level credit that may be applicable to teacher recertification, salary scale advancement, or meeting state and district continuing education requirements. It’s professional learning that counts.
