PEDU 9013: Hands-On Activities to Strenghten Learning

This course is designed to provide educators like you the opportunity to earn professional development credit for the hours of extra effort, completed on your own time, you invest developing hands-on activities to strengthen learning in your classroom. As an educator, you continuously target areas in which students need extra support or scaffolding to achieve success on their learning objectives, and then you develop hands-on learning activities that will motivate and engage your students,  reinforce their learnings and skills, and, overall, strengthen their learning.  For time you spend  (or have spent) developing hands-on activities on your own time, away from professionally paid hours, you can earn University of the Pacific PD credit. Just submit proof of five different completed hands-on activities (per credit hour attempted), along with a time log documenting the hours spent, to the University of the Pacific for evaluation.
