Online PD Courses

About the COURSES

iLearn Collaborative’s professional development courses provide the one-on-one support that educators need, when they need it, combined with the structure that allows new skills and competencies to be recognized and rewarded. Courses include PD block hours and run year-round on an on-demand basis.

Our courses empower teachers by offering a unique scaffolding design, beginning with the basics of blended instructional practice and on to higher levels of learning that support educational models of student-centered learning and follow the National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQ).

Educators have the opportunity to earn micro-credentials through select courses, which contextualize their skill sets and achievements within the context of blended and online learning, technology integration, and student engagement and agency. Each micro-credentialed course has been developed for a 3-week target completion and is eligible for 15-45 professional development clock hours or graduate-level credits that count toward recertification.

Online PD Course Highlights

  • Course design is guided by turning theory into practice, preparing participants to develop and deliver activities and lessons for immediate implementation.
  • Courses are facilitated by experienced accredited practitioners, who offer coaching that is supported by digital content focused on specific problems of practice and project-based work.
  • Learning progressions are personalized and guide educators through pathways from introductory through advanced levels of knowledge and experience, meeting the instructional needs of participants.
  • Participants receive real-time support and can control when and what to learn, contacting facilitators via phone, email and text, and accessing digital content and learning communities.
  • Peer-to-peer feedback and reflections inform best instructional practices.
  • All courses are university-accredited.

Online PD Courses are available in the following categories:

Competency Pathways

We know teachers have little free time, and no one wants to spend hours on a professional development course. iLC offers shorter pathways to completion based on competency. 

Our competency pathways offer PD clock hours for those not seeking college credit and are available for all of our signature (non-micro-credentialed) courses.

“The time I have invested in the courses was so valuable and applicable to my instruction and overall teaching strategies. More importantly, the help and guidance provided has been outstanding! The flexibility and support from such an organized professional development opportunity is more than a person could ask for.”
Mr. Unruh, Teacher, Ridgway School District R-2
