Online learning is for anyone interested in personal professional development. You must be self-disciplined, have some computer literacy, and be self-motivated to work independently. In addition, you must have e-mail access and Internet capabilities.

Online courses provide you an excellent opportunity to enhance your professional development, to promote personal enrichment, and to renew your teacher certification in the convenience of your own home at your own pace.

Letter grades are not assigned at the completion of the course; instead, we award contact (clock) hours. The number of contact hours per course varies and will be listed on the course description page.

Back to top

Contact hours and CEUs are not synonymous; however, most accrediting agencies view 1 CEU as the equivalent of 10 or 15 contact hours. Please contact your accrediting agency to determine the number of contact hours equivalent to 1 CEU.

All courses are approved by American Association of Christian Schools and Tennessee Association of Christian Schools.

 

Since Training Teachers Online was launched in 2006, the list will grow as this service becomes known to state and  national accrediting agencies.  You will need to contact your school’s accrediting agency to determine if they accept  our courses.

Some accrediting agencies may require evidence of course completion. The Certificate of Completion may provide ample proof of completion; however, you may be requested to submit additional documentation to verify that you have taken a course. If this occurs, we encourage you to print and submit copies of your responses to the assessment activities, course journal entries, summary reflections, and discussion board questions to the appropriate agency. You may want to develop a portfolio for these items.

Once you have completed all course requirements, you will need to e-mail Training Teachers Online to indicate completion of the course. We will mail you a Certificate of Completion, which will include the name of the course and the number of contact hours awarded. 

 

Please remember that you will be responsible for completing the course requirements. These consist of: reading assignments, evaluation activities, journal entries, and an end-of-the-course survey.

The duration of a course depends upon the time it takes you to complete the course lessons. For a course that is assigned 15 contact hours, it will take the average student 15 hours to complete the course. Basically, you work at the pace most comfortable to you.

All our courses are interactive. You will be asked to complete evaluation activities, to enter information in your journal, and to respond to discussion board questions.  

 

Our courses allow you to monitor your progress, such as providing the correct answers to the evaluation activities. Furthermore, select courses will contain video/audio links to enhance the interaction of the lessons.

You will be encouraged to post your responses to the discussion board questions on the Internet for other course participants to view. You will also be given the option to reply to other course participants’ responses. Participation in the discussion board forum will provide you an excellent opportunity to enhance your understanding of select educational topics.

Each online course consists of five to ten lessons, with seven or eight lessons being the average. The lessons include the following components: text narrative, assessment activities, course journal entries, readings at select resource sites, and discussion board questions. You may also be asked during the course to write summary reflections of what you have learned.
