DataWORKS Educational Research - Graduate-Level Credit for Educators and Teachers

University of the Pacific — Benerd College is pleased to offer graduate-level semester units of credit for completing coursework with DataWORKS Educational Research. Dedicated in assisting educators and teachers across the nation, our professional development course options are designed to be practical, meaningful, and affordable. At only $62 per semester credit, opportunities are available to all current (ongoing) or previous DataWORKS Educational Research participants.

Earn up to 3 hours of graduate-level semester credits for each conference, workshop or training that you complete with DataWORKS Educational Research. Completing one of their workshops will allow you to increase participants’ knowledge and skills in any learning environment. We all know that the number one determination of student success is the quality of the teacher. And the quality of a teacher is measured by classroom instructional practice and lesson design. Inconsistent instructional practices and weak lesson design will negatively impact student learning. A standardized instructional method repeatedly applied will have positive impact on student learning.

Graduate-level credit will be awarded upon completing of the following items:

  • Complete any DataWORKS online or live conference, workshop, or webinar (DataWORKS professional development fees are paid separately from the tuition university credit fee.)
  • Register for a UOP Workshop Course (See below).
  • Complete coursework requirements based on what you learned.
Course Requirements

Develop and implement DataWORKS strategies directly into your classroom or program setting. Upon successful completion of a conference, workshop, or webinar, you will invest time reflecting on provided materials, research and reading to culminate in an innovative project of your choice (e.g., lesson(s), curriculum, learning activities, or a professional development plan, etc.) that applies the strategies learned. As a student, your practicum requirements will consist of completing a reflection paper to demonstrate your professional development. An additional expectation is to complete a time log that documents the time spent for completing your coursework requirements. The specific requirements concerning your reflection paper and time log are based on how many credits you take per course.

Credit Requirements

1 credit = 3 pg. reflection

2 credits = 6 pg. reflection

3 credits = 9 pg. reflection

Completely designed for busy teachers like you, you will have up to 6 months to submit coursework requirements, and extensions are always granted upon request.
