What people are saying

"We found the online course provided a high-quality, unique opportunity for teachers in the program to learn at their own pace, interact with one another and the instructor, and most importantly, take what was learned and apply it immediately to their classroom practice"
- Charlene Frollo, BTSA Director, Evergreen School District

"California school districts are constantly obliged to implement under-funded mandates. The challenge is to find a way to do that without cutting programs that benefit students. The Online Education Center meets that challenge when it comes to providing quality professional development to teachers."
- Johanna VanderMolen, CUSD Superintendent

"This is an exciting opportunity for new teachers to participate in high quality professional development. The online venue provides a unique opportunity for teachers to engage with a community of learners and expert instructors."

"The Equity course changed the way I teach and the way I interpret my students' reactions to me. The online format gave me time to ponder and then communicate effectively on each thought-provoking article."
