Prof Dev. Cert for Spec.Ed and Physically Handicapped

Good Morning, I am looking for low cost ways to beef up my resume via dl. I would like to have approx. 25 Prof. Dev. credits by the end of April in the above areas. Thanks for any input and ideas. Hille

 

What do you mean by 25 professional development credits? Are you talking about semester credits or something your state has established?

Virginia has a point system for teachers in that we must earn 180 points to earn relicensure for the following 5 years. We can earn points through a variety of ways, but most teachers sign up to take classes. A 3 credit class earns you 90 points. I'm not sure how your state works, but Virginia accepts the continuing ed classes through Walden and Phoenix. Perhaps your state does as well.

CE credits

Good Morning, I am looking for CE credits in Spec. Ed., adaptive PE, and autism. I do not get reimbursed so this needs to be a low cost effort. Many thanks. Hille

 

I don't know about autism or adaptive PE courses, but UoP has a bunch of continuing ed special ed classes. You can see them at http://www.uopxonlinetraining.com/continuing_education_course_list.asp They list a class that's Characteristics of Physical and Health disabilities which may touch on PE, but I'm not sure.

Walden also has a few courses at http://www.canter.net/content/index.cfm?s=123.u000j180j.092b115z40&wid=320&pid=65777
