Professional Development Units Available

In partnership with Chapman University we have numerous approved courses and are adding courses weekly. Chapman University will award 1 semester hour of graduate elective credit based upon successful completion of course requirements.  These credits are professional development units that are not part of a degree program but instead are primarily used for professional advancement (such as salary increment steps and recertification). Students should seek approval of appropriate district or college officials before enrolling in these courses to satisfy any degree, state credential, or local school district requirements.  State licensing departments vary regarding their criteria for credit acceptance, and some states may not accept credit from universities that are located outside the state.

For more information please visit www.chapman.edu 
1 Unit 15 Hours, Course Plus Practicum
2 Units 30 Hours, Course Plus Practicum
3 Units 45 Hours, Course Plus Practicum
 
Graduate Credit is available for Rachel's Challenge annual summit and has also been approved for 3 semester Professional Development Units. You can request a copy of the application for summit requirements from: gene@rachelschallenge.org

IN MEMORY OF RACHEL SCOTT

"I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion,
then it will start a chain reaction of the same."

Rachel Scott, 17 year old Columbine High School student, was one of 13 people killed in the tragic school shooting in Littleton, Colorado on April 20, 1999. Since then Rachel's Challenge has impacted millions of people around the world. We are the largest school assembly program in North America reaching millions of students, teachers, and administrators yearly. Rachel Scott photo
