Covid-19 Response

We are very proud of our faculty, instructors, and students whom have weathered the transition to fully online instruction following the suspension of face-to-face activity. While we expect to transition our blended courses later this semester, and certainly by this summer, we should acknowledge the potential that online learning may need to continue longer than we expect. We remain fully committed to helping you achieve your continuing education goals while delivering the best possible instruction.

Are You a MASTER Teacher?

We are very excited to announce our new, 4-course Master Teacher Certificate! This program will allow eligible educators to earn the Skills for Teacher Leaders Endorsement from PDE, earn extra compensation for hosting YCP students for field experience and student teaching, and help them learn to occupy positions of leadership like grade level leaders, department chairs, and mentors. Please consider sharing this information with colleagues who might be interested.

More Online Choices Coming

While we remain committed to retaining our blended approach through most of our offerings, we plan to include some fully online classes to create a more flexible range of options for you to select from. This will begin in the summer (2020) semester with MED 502 and 503, which will both be offered as fully online courses in the Summer II session. Online courses will be marked as such in both our newsletter and in the course schedule posted by the college.
