Professional Development for Educators

We know as a teacher, you're always busy - planning lessons, grading papers, and dealing with kids and their problems.  That's why we aim to provide engaging and fun professional development that fits into and around your schedule.  From travel studies to independent practicums to online offerings, we have something that's sure to inform and inspire.  Whether you're cramming over the weekends or keeping busy during the summer, you'll find something here for you.

Our courses are designed to meet the professional development needs of educators for career and salary advancement.  These classes are not applicable to a degree at Pacific but can be transferred at the discretion of your institution.  District approval is recommended before enrolling.  An official transcript is available from Pacific upon successful completion of coursework.
