It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

The Professional Development for Teachers program in the Graduate School of Education being offered in early 2007 provides a variety of high-quality, online professional development opportunities for practicing K-12 teachers with a consistent classroom/group of students.

Each course incorporates sustained job-embedded exercises and follow-up activities to positively impact teaching methods and behavior, provide instruction for candidates to master subject competencies, and create pedagogical experiences that focus on raising student achievement.

Participants meet online as teams to collaborate, examine data on student performance, study content embedded in standards, and implement research-based instructional strategies to improve their individual performances as educators. Teachers in the program continually reflect on their skills and practices while determining how their course experiences are producing desired results for their students.

This is a professional certificate offered by the Kaplan University School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
