San Benito COE
Graduate-Level Semester Credit
- Pay only $62 per semester credit.
- Registration available year round.
University of the Pacific-Benerd College is pleased to partner with San Benito County Office of Education to offer graduate-level semester credit upon completion of course requirements. This unique offering is available to all current (ongoing) and past SBCOE Workshop/Webinar 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 SBCOE Workshop or Webinar, 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 SBCOE workshop/webinar-inspired activities and projects to include in your time log:
Time spent in SBCOE workshop or webinar attendance, reading additional SBCOE coursework books or articles, watching additional video sessions, and/or modifying inspired strategies to be used for your classroom or program.
Other eligible activities include development or revision of classroom curriculum to include SBCOE strategies and learnings: rubrics, lesson plans, educational games, learning activities, PowerPoint presentations, video presentations, worksheets, educational websites, classroom visuals, classroom assignments and projects, learning centers, anchor charts, assessments, teacher-created books, physical education activities, self-evaluation/reflection reports, technology-related activities, storytelling activities, units of study, incorporation of Common Core Standards into Inclusion Collaborative activities, mindfulness strategies, etc.
Whether you spend time brainstorming, researching, reading, typing, writing, watching educational videos and films for ideas, constructing visuals, or putting together new curriculum and rubrics, you are able to document all the professional time you have invested in applying SBCOE strategies and concepts into your classroom and teaching.
