About Us

Our courses serve classroom and specialist teachers, administrators, educational technicians, parents and adults interested in learning and growing in their field. Educators from across the United States have taken our courses successfully for professional development and license renewal in their own states. Because requirements vary by state, we encourage educators to check with their state to confirm acceptance. Our courses have been accepted by the Maine Department of Education for recertification for 4.5 CEUs (the equivalent of 45 contact hours) since 2011. 

We offer 4 fully-online semesters per year including Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Because we understand how busy educators are, all of our courses are asynchronous. That means you can complete the work on your own time but still benefit from learning alongside your peers.

Our Process

  • Student-centered, participatory learning
  • Low teacher-to-student ratio
  • Flexible, online courses or tutorials
  • Our courses are asynchronous. Those that require synchronous video sessions will be scheduled in collaboration with adult learners.

Our Values

  • Engagement with the critical issues of our times
  • Knowing that we teach through who we are and what we do
  • Knowing the learner
  • Knowing the subject
  • Applying research to best practices
