Earning graduate credits as a teacher should be straightforward. No mandatory class times, no commuting, no guesswork about whether the credits will count. Here is exactly how our graduate courses work, start to finish.
Step 1 — Browse and Pick Your Course
Open our course catalog and filter by topic, credit count, or teaching area. Most teachers pick a course tied to what they will actually teach next year — differentiated instruction, classroom management, AI in classrooms, special education, or a subject area.
Step 2 — Register in Under 5 Minutes
Click the course, add to cart, and check out. You pay once and get immediate access to the course materials. No waitlists, no semester start dates.
Step 3 — Read and Complete the Coursework
Every course uses a book review format. You read the assigned book, complete the reflection assignments, and submit when you are done. There are no live sessions, no synchronous meetings, no scheduled exams. Total student time is typically 30 to 45 hours per 3-credit course.
Step 4 — Submit for Grading
When your assignments are done, submit through the course portal. Our instructors grade within 3 to 5 business days.
Step 5 — Receive Your Official Transcript
Once your work is graded, an official transcript is issued from our accredited partner institution. Transcripts arrive within 5 to 10 business days and are accepted by districts nationwide for salary lane advancement and license renewal.
