Canter’s Online Format Works with the Busy Teacher Lifestyle

New online learning environment brings added flexibility for educators in search of professional development.

For years, busy teachers have turned to Canter-developed distance learning courses to earn the graduate credits they need for career and salary advancement. Offered nationally through accredited universities and colleges, many of these flexible, self-paced graduate courses are now available online.

Now students can gain relevant skills and strategies in a format that best meets their learning style and preferences.  The online course format is similar to the traditional distance-learning model, with a few differences:

• Course study guides are available online.
• All written assignments are completed and submitted online.
• Feedback on quizzes is provided online.
• Students collaborate online via discussion boards.
• Videos of experts and master teachers are available online and in DVD format.

The online courses are self-directed and have no required login times, so students can earn graduate credits while balancing the responsibilities of work and family.
