How Our Self Paced Online Courses Work:

Students register for a self paced online course on the Credits for Teaches website. Upon registration, they will then be sent the proper course materials via email.

Step 2:

Students register with the university partner of their choice (if receiving university credit).

Step 3:

Students complete the required course assignments and submit them via Schoology. Your self paced CE course’s assignments can also be submitted via email to grades@creditsforteachers.com if taking courses through CSU Pueblo.

Step 4:

Students should allow 10-14 business days for assignments to be graded. Once graded, students will receive a certificate of completion from Credits for Teachers. The final grade will be sent to the respective university partner.

Step 5:

Students should allow 10-14 business days for the respective university partner to process the final grade and update the transcript. Then, students will be able to view and order updated transcripts to display credit hour updates to their district.

On the best days, you barely have enough time to check everything off your to-do list

Between teaching, planning, & grading, you can barely find time to spend with your family or friends. We know how easy it is for opportunities like Professional Development or Salary Advancement to get pushed to the side. Finding the time just seems impossible.

How do our courses solve your problems?

Reason #1: Location Flexibility

Many Professional Development courses require you to meet in-person either on weeknights or during your weekends. While these continuing education options have their merits, they can be difficult to consistently fit into your schedule. Even the most time-savvy teachers can usually only fit one or two courses into their schedule per year.

Online professional development courses with Credits for Teachers can be completed from anywhere you choose. Bring them on a road trip, learn in your favorite coffee shop, or study in the backyard while your kids are playing. Our courses are designed to fit your schedule. You can focus on one course per semester or complete several; the choice is yours.

Our self paced courses will work around your schedule, not the other way around.

In addition, our courses are unique because they’ve been strategically crafted to eliminate useless busy work. Each course is specifically focused on introducing, implementing & improving teaching strategies to maximize your abilities as an educator.
