Our Professional Learning Services team collaborates with subject-matter experts to develop timely, comprehensive, and action-oriented learning opportunities for teachers, administrators, mentors, and counselors.
Administrators often want to provide school- or district-wide professional development, and we are here to help. Through our Group Registration and Enrollment program, you can choose courses for your staff to complete or curate a catalog with courses for staff to choose. Additionally, we offer personalized coaching services for blended and online learning efforts, as well as face-to-face synchronous training.
Mentors play a critical role in supporting students but often do not receive as much training as they would like to perform this significant role. In addition to mentor resources such as our comprehensive mentor guide, mentors can receive a free online learning review and attend local mentor meetups.
From college counseling to military counseling and career exploration, we offer several PD courses specifically for counselors. Discover how to develop relationships with college admissions officers, understand military offerings for high school graduates, and guide students to be career-ready after graduation.
“I love the tips that each section gave so you could see how improving in that area is simpler than maybe we thought it would be.”
“[This course] did what we should all do in our classroom: Start the process and show students how to carry that forward into the future.”
“I would like to thank you and all of your partners who made these courses available to me as an educator. I appreciate the time and effort that was put into this great project. Thanks again for all your support in the world of virtual learning.”
You receive your Certificate of Completion within 12 hours of fully completing the course. You will receive your SCECH credits within 10 full business days of receiving your Certificate of Completion.
There are two reasons. First, your Michigan Professional Teaching Certificate expires after five years, and renewal requires 150 hours of education-related professional learning. Second, quality PD courses can help you master not only useful professional and personal skills but also aid in improving student outcomes.
Access our Professional Learning Portal to view more than 250 courses. Select a course and click “Enroll in this course.”
We offer dozens of free, SCECH-bearing courses. The cost for individual courses is always listed and can range from free to around $200 based on the number of hours and SCECHs.
Contact our Customer Care Team with any questions or concerns you might have. They are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
The GRE program is highly customizable and can include nearly every course we offer. Explore our District-Provided Professional Development page for more information.
