How It Works

How Canter Meets Your Professional Development Needs

As a teacher, you understand the value of lifelong learning. You also know that new strategies and skills can enhance your instruction, help advance your career, and inspire you and your students to reach greater levels of achievement. But how do you make time for high-quality professional development that is both practical and affordable?

At Canter, our self-paced, distance-learning model provides flexibility and convenience so that you can study when and where it's most convenient for you. We offer our courses in two formats—online or print & DVD—so you can choose whichever works best for you. Our graduate courses for teachers are available nationwide, in partnership with a select group of respected, accredited institutions.

Canter’s years of experience with a multimedia curriculum means you can hear nationally recognized experts, including Dr. Robert Marzano, Jay McTighe and Dr. Carol Ann Tomlinson, who share the latest research-based theories and concepts in their own words. You’ll also have the opportunity to watch master teachers model best practices in real classroom situations.

Our practical curriculum, developed for classroom teachers, is designed so that you can immediately apply your new knowledge and skills as you teach. What’s more, because Canter courses include books and DVDs, you always have these resources on hand, so you can go back to them again and again.

Through the flexibility of distance learning, we can help you balance your lifelong learning goals with your personal and professional commitments.
