University of the Pacific-Benerd College is pleased to partner with Savvas Learning Company to offer graduate-level semester credit upon completion of course requirements. This unique offering is available to all current (ongoing) and past Savvas Learning participants. Graduate-level professional development credit is not part of a degree program at Pacific but can be transferred at the discretion of your institution for salary advancement and state licensing requirements. Candidates seeking credit for such purposes are advised to check with your district office human resource department or other appropriate agencies.
Upon successful completion of your Savvas Learning Company PD experience, simply invest time reflecting on your learnings, research and relevant readings. As a student, your course practicum requirements will consist of developing a time log that documents the time and hours that you invested into completing your course requirements. The specific requirements concerning your time log are based on how many credits you decide to register for your course. Each credit registered will require 15 hours of participation listed on your time log.
1 credit = 15 hours
2 credits = 30 hours
3 credits = 45 hours
4 credits = 60 hours
Suggested Savvas Learning Company-inspired activities and projects to include in your time log:
