Coursework Requirements

Develop and implement TPRS Books strategies directly into your classroom or program setting.

Upon successful completion of a TPRS conference, workshop, webinar, or district training, 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 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.

Grades & Transcripts

An Official Transcript with your final course grade(s) is available from Pacific upon successful completion of coursework. The course ending date that will appear on your transcript will reflect the date your completed coursework was reviewed and graded. Within 3-6 weeks of submitting your coursework requirements, you will be mailed an unofficial transcript with your official course grades (at no charge) to your mailing address.

Completed courses are letter graded and will appear on an Official Transcript from University of the Pacific – Benerd College.
