We can partner with your school to extend staff development initiatives and offer graduate credit for activities tied to those goals.

Consider the following example:

Your school has identified the area of content-area reading strategies as a focus for the school year. You plan to have a few sessions throughout the year where teachers learn about new strategies to engage students. You are looking for ways to encourage teachers to actually USE the strategies. We can design an “extension graduate course” for your teachers, in which teachers are truly using the reading strategies with their students. Teachers try the strategies with their students, reflect on their lessons, evaluate student success and feedback, AND gain graduate credit from an accredited university for their work!

This model applies to any staff development goal/initiative at your school…including literacy, instructional strategies, evaluation models… the possibilities are endless!
