The COVID-19 pandemic posed new challenges, but we responded with the tools and resources teachers needed for the sudden shift to virtual teaching. Now, as part of the Teachers of Tomorrow family, we continue to support educators from their initial certification to ongoing professional growth.

As the world evolves, so do we, staying committed to empowering educators through online professional development, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required to make a profound impact.

Continuing Education Courses for Teachers

The key to continuing education courses for teachers.

What’s the single most important factor in creating student success?

It’s not the curriculum, or the school district, or the budget, or even demographics. Research has shown repeatedly that teachers matter most in student achievement – more than any other aspect of the school experience. And professional development for teachers, in turn, helps these educators improve their own classroom and leadership skills – which keeps the cycle of improvement going.

While it’s hard to think about taking on new work when you – like most teachers – are already stretched thin, professional development courses are for you – they build up your strengths, bolster any weak spots you may have, and get you inspired again. And the possibilities are many – sharpen your technology skills, focus on wellness, shore up your classroom behavioral knowledge, learn about teaching students who have cultural differences, enhance your research skills – all will benefit you, make you feel more grounded, and reinforce the reasons you’re in the classroom in the first place.

Professional Development for Teachers Online

The key to making professional development work for you is to have it available when you’re available, complementing the skills you most desire.

Online courses do just that. They are varied, self-paced, and worth anywhere from one to four semester credits/units, so you can match the amount of work required to the time you have and the priorities you set. While continuing education & professional development hours are a requirement for all teachers – most states require an average of around six graduate credits (or 120-180 professional-development hours) every five years for license renewal. Those credits can be earned by attending or presenting at a conference or webinar, pursuing educational technology certifications, publishing educational articles or books, and completing continuing education courses.

What Are Your Continuing Education Goals for Teaching?

Of course, your students always come first; if they aren’t learning and achieving, you may not be as fulfilled as you would like to be as a teacher.

So becoming an expert in a specific area or embracing a new pedagogy makes sense. But keep in mind you’ll earn more than credits and expertise from continuing education courses. TeachHub – a website created by the K-12 Teachers Alliance – lists these goals for professional development. They include:

Goals for Professional Development

Avoid Burnout

Taking care of your students means taking care of their teacher.

Use Tech Tools

Ever-changing technology can be daunting. Jump in.

Create An Online Presence

Start a teacher blog, or a classroom website for your students.

Grow Colleagues Relationships

Network, find a mentor, use colleagues as resources.

Incorporate Mindfulness

This isn’t natural for busy teachers who already feel overwhelmed.

What Does a Professional Development Plan Look Like?

There are many examples online; search the terms “individual continuing education & professional development plans” and you’ll get plenty of models, dozens on Pinterest alone; some are downloadable, printable, and free. They can be set up as spreadsheets, Word documents, or in graphic form. Some of the common elements:

• State the action you will take (What would you like to be better at? What would you like to know more about? What skills do you want to pursue?)
• State your area of focus (This can be subject matter, classroom skills, or self-focused improvement in areas such as mindfulness or time management)
• State your reason for this action and area of focus
• List any related activities
• Outline your time frame
• Pinpoint how you’ll know when you’ve succeeded
• Note which teaching standards your goals align with

Professional Development Planning Idea: List your goals down the side of a page, and then break those goals down into 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, and annual increments across the page.

Choosing the Best Online Continuing Education Course for You

So, where do you start when you want to find a course that will enhance your abilities, fit into your busy life, and fulfill your continuing education requirements? Try these popular professional development courses for teachers:

Three-Credit Courses

Whether you’re interested in improving your STEM/STEAM teaching, enhancing your tech skills to infuse your classroom with the latest tools, focusing on your own health and wellness, study how the brain functions when it’s learning to read, or developing your students’ executive-function skills in the classroom, you’ll find three-credit courses that fit the bill.

Classroom-Management Strategies

Every teacher, every student, every classroom is different, with their own challenges and goals. What does your class need? Find a course that helps you create a positive learning environment, focus your disciplinary methods, create an inclusive classroom and culturally responsive lesson plans, or teach students how to identify and use credible media resources.

Professional Reading

Think about the things that compete for your attention: lesson planning, family, social media, television, the internet, and apps on your smartphone, among others. EDDU 9604: Professional Reading wants to help you recommit to spending time on focused professional reading. The class list includes a choice of books broken down into the categories of Class Management and Instruction Strategies; Cultural Responsiveness and Social Issues; Equity and Opportunity in Education; Inspiration and Personal Growth; Language and Literacy, Leadership and Coaching, Learning and the Brain, Passion and Well-Being, SEL and Trauma-Informed Instruction, Technology in Education, and History, Science, Math, Arts & Music.

Educational Technology

Do you have a technology-infused classroom, where both you and your students use digital tools with ease? Are you well-versed in Google Classroom, and all the tricks it can do for you? Are you familiar with the structure of Hyperdocs and how their tools and templates can facilitate learning? And can you easily say that the student engagement and authentic learning is supported by technology in your classroom? Check out these courses.

Wellness for Teachers

At the end of the day, your health and wellness, as well as the health and wellness of your classroom environment, is key. Seek out courses that help you create calm in the classroom, teach resilience to your students, create a plan for your own health and wellness, or even just focus on happiness as a life’s essential that can be taught.

Anxiety Awareness: Strategies to Improve Student Well-being and Performance

Participants in this course will examine foundational elements that make up student anxiety. Participants will learn about the signs and symptoms of anxiety in students at various grade levels, maturities, and cultures. Anxiety-reducing strategies and frameworks will be centered around the research of Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D., and Tom Thelen (founder of Resetschools.org). Participants will explore research studies on the causes of anxiety, learn how it impacts students’ learning and classroom interactions, and how teaching style and classroom structures can increase or decrease anxiety. This knowledge will aid in applying strategies and practices/frameworks to identify, minimize, and address a variety of anxiety factors and disorders. Additional topics include effective lesson planning to combat anxiety, explore online/digital resources to support classroom needs, including students with special needs, and connecting parents/homes to strengthening the support system to reduce anxiety. The course will conclude with participants developing an implementation plan or presentation to demonstrate knowledge and application of how anxiety impacts their classroom so they can improve student well-being and performance. Throughout the course, participants will engage in interactive dialogue through a variety of mediums to receive valuable feedback to reflect on from their instructor. All formative and summative projects are reviewed and graded, and feedback from the instructor will be provided allowing the participant to enhance their portfolio of educational tools/resources to impact their classroom or school community.

Embracing Grit: Teaching Students to More Than Persevere

Participants in this course will take an in-depth look at the research by Angela Duckworth and how “grit” is clearly correlated to student success in the classroom and beyond. Participants will learn about grit and how it differs from resilience. Numerous grit strategies, classroom management practices, and strategic lesson planning development will be explored, discussed, and developed so that the participant will have a working knowledge of how to embed grit into their classroom culture at the conclusion of the course. Participants will learn how grit strategies can increase achievement and improve wellbeing, thus changing their students’ development trajectory when faced with a problem or difficult task. Additional topics include how grit is related to talent. What is productive struggle? What does a gritty student look like? How to effectively educate parents on bringing grit elements into their children’s lives at home will be explored. The course will allow participants to dive into grit research and learn about online web resources to support their gritty classroom during the school year and develop grit-infused lessons. It will conclude with participants developing an implementation plan or presentation to demonstrate knowledge and application of how grit frameworks/strategies impact their classroom so students can improve education performance and well-being. Throughout the course, students will participate in interactive dialogue through a variety of mediums to receive valuable feedback to reflect on from their instructor. All formative and summative projects are reviewed, and graded, and feedback from the instructor will be provided allowing the student to enhance their portfolio of educational tools/resources to impact their classroom or school community.

Swipe Generation: Creating a Culture of Academic Integrity and Learning for Students

Participants in this course will learn how to build academic success for today’s learners, known as the “Swipe Generation.” and how Swipe technology shapes emerging learning styles. This generation needs to rely heavily on technology skills to enhance their learning by developing problem-solving strategies and also reflect on their thinking and learning process. Participants will explore ways to enhance student performance by implementing a series of strategies to meet the unique needs of every learner in the classroom. These learning strategies can be applied, but first, students must become interested in and find the content worthy of their attention, which requires sustained mental effort, commitment, and engagement that can support the success of every learner. Foundational work in this course will include research on understanding effective practices, student learning strategies, and classroom outcomes that utilize technology and higher-level thinking skills. Participants will synthesize these paradigms and develop a new understanding of educators’ role in the classroom, along with new tools, strategies, and techniques for cultivating students’ learning and a state-of-the-art teaching approach to meet their educational goals. Throughout the course, students will participate in interactive dialogue through a variety of mediums to receive valuable feedback to reflect on from their instructor. All formative and summative projects are reviewed, and graded, and feedback from the instructor will be provided allowing the student to enhance their portfolio of educational tools/resources to impact their classroom or school community.

10 Best Professional Development Courses for Teachers in 2023

October 30, 2023

Today, teachers play a multifaceted role that goes beyond traditional classroom instruction. They’re mentors, councilors, curriculum designers, technology integrators, examination experts, and more— all in a bid to support students’ holistic development.

To meet the diverse needs of students and navigate through the intricacies of modern education systems, teachers must embrace professional development( PD) . 

Professional development courses offer a pathway for you to continually refine your skills, adapt to emerging trends, and, ultimately, provide a superior learning experience for your students. You remain current with the evolving educational methods, technology, and pedagogical research.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the best professional development for educators to empower you at every stage of your teaching career.

What Are Professional Development Courses?

Professional development (PD) courses encompass a wide range of structured learning experiences designed to enhance a teacher’s proficiency in various aspects of education. PD courses go beyond traditional academic training and focus on practical skills, pedagogical strategies, and innovative approaches that you can directly apply in the classroom.

Professional development can take various forms, including workshops, seminars, online courses, conferences, mentorship programs, etc. The goal is to equip educators with the knowledge and tools they need to foster a conducive learning environment and support the academic growth of their students.

That said, professional development is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. It is highly adaptable and can be tailored to suit individual teachers’ specific needs and aspirations. 

Whether you’re a seasoned educator looking to stay at the cutting edge of educational practices or a novice teacher eager to build a strong foundation, there’s a professional development course suited for you. You can take a PD course online, enroll in an in-school program, study while you work, or even take a break from the classroom and advance your education with a course.

Taking a professional development course offers you benefits even beyond your teaching career. These include:

• You enhance your teaching skills and become more effective in the classroom, leading to better student outcomes.
• You become more adaptable to new technologies and more innovative.
• PD gives you personal and professional growth, giving you a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.
• You can network and collaborate with your peers, gaining better insights, resources, and best practices in education.
• You get career advancement opportunities within the field of education.

Professional development requirements can vary significantly from one state or school district to another. What may be considered a valid PD activity in one region may not carry the same weight in another. It’s important to familiarize yourself with your preferred state’s requirements for professional development. 

Additionally, you should note that completing professional development courses differs from certification. 

Research the licensure and certification requirements for your state career goals and local conditions to ensure you’re on the right path toward achieving your professional aspirations. Find out how long you’ll need for a certain course or how many courses you need to take, and continuously check the changes in your school district that may involve PD courses.

15 Top Resources for Teacher Professional Development (Including Free Options!)

Stay on top of your game.

Teachers want to be the best they can be at their jobs, and they know that education is a lifelong process. But meeting professional development requirements can often feel like a hassle instead of something that’s meaningful. Districts offer (and require) plenty of their own PD, but they may not cover topics that really interest or benefit you. That’s why it’s helpful to be able to track down professional development for teachers that’s truly a good use of your time.

Use these resources (recommended by fellow teachers!) to find PD on a variety of topics, both in person and online. A few tips:

• Each state and/or school district has different PD requirements, and one may accept a PD activity that others don’t. Be sure to verify what you’ll need.
• Remember that grants may be available to help offset costs if necessary.
• If you need continuing education credits (CECs or CEUs), be sure to find out if the program offers them and if your district or state accepts them. Similarly, if you need a certificate to document your completion, ask about it in advance.

Cummings School Holds its First Veterinary Technician Continuing Education Conference

Veterinary technicians from across the country gathered in person and virtually in early August to attend a one-day continuing education conference hosted by Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The conference, titled “Exploring the Role of Veterinary Technician Educators in the Veterinary Medicine Curriculum,” delved into topics ranging from teaching clinical skills to simulation-based training methods to the theory of teaching.

It benefits everyone when we invest in developing technicians as educators. I hope that we can continue to develop this programming in the future.

Dr. Leslie Sharkey

The event came together through a collaboration of Cummings School faculty, veterinary technicians, and various departments across campus, led by the efforts of Dr. Clare Timothy (she/her), assistant clinical professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences . Dr. Timothy works in the Emergency and Critical Care service at the Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals at Cummings School, teaching students in a clinical role on the floor. She also gives lectures in preclinical D.V.M. classes.

The idea for the conference arose from a chance conversation with her colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Rozanski , associate professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences.

“We were both interested in looking at different ways we can support technicians in their career development. Being in a teaching hospital, one of the ways they’re underutilized is in the teaching of veterinary students,” says Dr. Timothy.

Drs. Timothy and Rozanski applied for a grant from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to sponsor a continuing education conference focused on vet techs in the D.V.M. curriculum. With Dr. Rozanski’s support, Dr. Timothy developed the grant proposal, and once awarded the grant, she took over planning and organizing the conference.

Chair of the Department of Clinical Sciences at Cummings School, Dr. Leslie Sharkey is a strong proponent of the program and Dr. Timothy’s efforts to involve vet techs in educating students. “Veterinary technicians are a critical part of the clinical care team, and they are important contributors to our educational mission. They have key technical competencies to share with students, and they collaborate closely with veterinarians to assess patients and work with clients.”

Dr. Timothy pulled in faculty and veterinary technicians from Cummings School, and vet techs from other academic institutions to participate in the conference. 

To reach the widest audience of vet techs, both local to New England and nationally, the event was offered in a hybrid format, with options to join in-person or over Zoom. More than 60 vet techs attended the conference, approximately a third in person, coming from nearby vet tech colleges, private practices in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and clinics like Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. Another 40 vet techs joined online, many from academic institutions, including The Ohio State University, University of Pennsylvania, and Cornell University.

Cummings School faculty and veterinary technicians presented at the event, as did two guest speakers, Leslie Wereszczak, a veterinary technician and director of Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) for small animals at the University of Tennessee, and Bea Biddinger, veterinary technician and manager of the Clinical Skills Department at Michigan State University.

After Dr. Timothy’s opening remarks, Wereszczak kicked off the presentations with her talk “Times are Changing: Where have we come from and where are we going?” She later returned to the podium to present “Unique Perspectives—Technician Contributions to D.V.M. Education,” based on her experiences over more than three decades working as a vet tech at the University of Tennessee.

One of Dr. Timothy’s goals for the conference was to inform vet techs on veterinary medicine curriculum framework and teaching theory. For these talks, she turned to Dr. Ariana Hinckley-Boltax , assistant teaching professor in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology at Cummings School. She delivered two presentations, “Pedagogical Basics” and “Introduction to the CBVE (Competency-Based Veterinary Education) Framework.”

Dr. Timothy also wanted to provide techs with tips and guidance on delivering feedback and approaching difficult students. Biddinger stepped up to the plate on these topics with her presentation on “Providing Students with Feedback,” drawn from her experiences at Michigan State University.

“The third arm of the conference was to try to highlight speakers who have advanced their own tech careers through education and teaching and to show the possibilities within the academic world for techs,” says Dr. Timothy. She recruited two veterinary technician colleagues from Cummings School.

Jill Franko , large animal clinical skills laboratory manager in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology, delivered a presentation on “Teaching Clinical Skills.” Mike Santasieri , manager of the Joseph Kelley, D.V.M. Simulation Laboratory in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology and experienced ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and dialysis veterinary technician, presented on the topic of “Simulation-based Teaching.”

“Mike gave a really interesting talk on the huge variety of tools in simulation teaching, including those used in human medicine,” says Dr. Timothy. “Meanwhile, Jill showcased some of the innovative large animal models that she has designed to help the students at Tufts practice their equine and farm animal clinical skills.”

Throughout the day, Dr. Timothy was especially inspired by the audience’s reaction to the presentations, in person and online. “It’s a softer skill topic, teaching communication with students, giving feedback. Attendance surpassed what I expected, but more than that was the engagement from the attendees. At the end of every speaker’s lecture, so many questions were coming up on Zoom that we didn’t have enough time to answer them all. It’s exciting that technicians are passionate about this and wanting to connect with other like-minded people.”

The event wrapped up with a panel discussion and Q&A, hosted by Wereszczak, Santasieri, Biddinger, Dr. Rozanski, and Carolyn Tai, a veterinary technician who oversees the dialysis center at Foster Hospital for Small Animals. The Academy of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Technicians and Nurses (AVECCTN) awarded Tai the AVECCTN Specialty Technician of the Year in 2023.

“There’s so much students can learn from techs. They can give a different perspective, so that was fun to invite Carolyn too,” says Dr. Timothy.

In her closing remarks, Dr. Timothy emphasized the importance of these events to bring the community together. She saw networking happening throughout the day and encouraged the crowd to keep the conversations going.

Dr. Timothy plans to continue to host the event at Cummings School. She would like to invite nurses from human medicine practice to collaborate on future conferences, as nurses are utilized much more in the teaching of medical students. She notes the current curriculum redesign at Cummings School and hopes to involve vet techs more in teaching students going forward.

“It benefits everyone when we invest in developing technicians as educators,” adds Dr. Sharkey. “I hope that we can continue to develop this programming in the future.”

A member of the audience who had worked at a teaching hospital and switched to private practice shared that she missed teaching students. Dr. Timothy comments, “I thought if something like this can inspire even just one or two techs to come back into academia, that’s a start. I feel like we met our goal in trying to reach people.”

Description of the Course:

Why is understanding this topic important?

1. Improves Access and Equity in Services:

Understanding the cultural backgrounds of families helps social workers, therapists, and service providers offer more equitable and accessible support. It ensures that services are tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse families, addressing cultural sensitivities and barriers such as language or mistrust of systems.

2. Enhances Communication and Trust:

When professionals are culturally competent, they are better equipped to build trust and foster open communication with families. This leads to stronger therapeutic relationships, more effective interventions, and greater cooperation between families and service providers.

3. Supports Holistic Family Well-Being:

Working with diverse cultures requires recognizing the family unit as part of a larger cultural context. By considering cultural values, traditions, and norms, professionals can develop more comprehensive support plans that resonate with the family’s identity, contributing to long-term well-being and success.

Learning Objectives:

Apply Culturally Responsive Practices: Professionals will be able to identify and implement specific strategies for integrating culturally responsive practices into their work with families from diverse backgrounds, ensuring that interventions are respectful and relevant to the cultural context of the families they serve.

Enhance Communication Skills in Cross-Cultural Contexts: Participants will learn techniques to improve communication with families who may face language barriers, cultural differences, or mistrust of social systems, enabling them to build stronger therapeutic relationships and foster trust.

Develop Tailored Support Plans: Students will create individualized, strengths-based support plans that acknowledge and leverage the cultural strengths, traditions, and values of the families they work with, enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of the care provided.
