In their own words, read why teachers love our online professional development courses.
When I first heard about Credits for Teachers, I was skeptical about the courses and if the credits would actually work for my district.What I found is that the credits are University approved so they work at almost any district. These courses are so easy to fit into my schedule & they actually give you applicable strategies. As a wife and a mother, I can’t image being able to get my Professional Development done any other way than through Credits for Teachers.”
As a new teacher, I didn’t really understand how salary advancement worked in most districts. After taking a few courses, I got a salary increase in my first year and I used that money to pay for all of my additional courses. Doing my CE credits through Credits for Teachers was a no-brainer.”
