Clock Hours and Continuing Education for Teachers

I just wanted to tell you that I ABSOLUTELY love your courses! I have passed on your courses to several of my friends who also rave about your courses. Thank you for providing professional educators with new courses that help us in the real world of teaching.

There was a lot of  information to cover, more than I thou… Read more

Thanks for putting together these great clock hour classes as I’ve learned more through your courses than I have in most of my continuing education classes for my teaching/administrative certificates.
