Dedicated in assisting educators and teachers across the nation, our professional development course options are designed to be practical, meaningful, and affordable.

Earn up to 3 hours of graduate-level semester credits/units for each workshop/webinar that you complete with The Creativity Workshop. We know the value of professional development in rejuvenating an educator’s enthusiasm, providing renewed motivation to engage students in the learning process, and imparting new information and experiences to add interest and depth to your teaching, but implementing the process of what you learn from your professional development is the key to educational success. With this unique PD course option you can finally implement what you’ve learned and earn credit at the same time.
Graduate-level credit will be awarded upon completion of the following items:
Develop and implement workshop strategies directly into your classroom or program setting.
Upon successful completion of a Creativity Workshop, 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. The specific requirements concerning your reflection paper are based on how many credits you select to earn per workshop.
Credit Requirements
1 credit = 3-page reflection paper
2 credits = 6-page reflection paper
3 credits = 9-page reflection paper
Completely designed for busy teachers like you, you have up to 6 months to submit your coursework requirements, and extensions are always granted upon request.
Completed courses are letter graded. An official transcript is available upon successful completion of course requirements. The course ending date that will appear on your transcript will reflect the date your information was reviewed and approved.
