The work I did for the courses helped me change my job after 30 years. I returned to work with a renewed sense of accomplishment and useful skills. I was motivated by learning that would assist my personal work and not for someone else’s idea of what I needed to learn.

I loved doing Courses4Teachers this summer for several reasons: I was studying things I needed to learn to be more effective at work. Previously, I took classes at a community college and spent a LOT of time in class and doing homework that didn’t really relate to me. I loved working on my own time schedule, early morning and late at night. I just used a timer to count the hours I worked, clocking in and out for interruptions and family responsibilities. It was easy to document and meet with a supervisor to show what I had done. My only wish is that I could earn a degree this way. I learned so much more than I did taking a class.

After 31 years as a High School Band Director and recently taking on the task of running a Middle School music program as well, I realized that I didn’t have the extra time to take classes to complete units for salary advancement. I heard about Courses4Teachers and enrolled in some of the self-designed courses that allowed me to earn university credit for the hard professional work that I was doing outside of my regular duties. As a result I earned the credit I needed for salary advancement as I head towards retirement. Thank you Courses4Teachers for your dependable, prompt, efficient, respectful and courteous service.

With the introduction of Common Core, I knew it was time to reevaluate my lesson plans and update my teaching skills. I heard about Courses4Teachers Inc. and signed up for several of their courses. They are outstanding. They are totally practical and allowed me to work on District curriculum-development goals and receive graduate-level professional development units for doing so.
