You can take them for graduate credits, for hours toward renewing your teaching license, or simply for your own professional growth and reflection. Each course aligns with a chapter from Becoming a Distinguished Physical Education Teacher and provides opportunities for authentic, job-embedded learning: The following three credit, self-paced courses are now available: DPE 101: Promoting Inclusivity and Engagement DPE 102: High Expectations for Student Behavior DPE 103: Optimizing Use of Space and Resources DPE 104: Standards-Based Content and Language Objectives DPE 105: Assessing Students’ Progress and Understanding DPE 106: Prioritizing Standards-Based Social Skills You can earn three graduate-level credits for each course (18 total if you complete all five) through Colorado State University Pueblo, which can help teachers move over on their pay scale in many districts. These credits can also be used toward a Masters Degree at CSU! If you’re looking for renewal hours, each one offers up to 100 hours toward your teaching license. To learn more or get registered, email gary@distinguishedpe.com or head over to www.distinguishedpe.com and click on Virtual Courses. Click here for the direct link to sign-up: Register Here!
