Book Studies

In-Service Teacher Professional Development: Book Studies

These unique book studies are only offered to in-service educators, and are available at a special partnership tuition rate of $165 per credit hour.

• Each book study is a 1-credit workshop.
• The workshops consist of three learning modules, require three exit tickets, and a culminating project that expands your knowledge of the basis of the book.
• Modality: The workshops are 100% online and asynchronous, with no meetings. They are designed to be completed independently, so you will not interact with any other participants unless you choose to interact with others in your network who are taking the same workshop.
