Teacher Credit Program
Madonna University's Professional Development Program is offering graduate credit to participants who complete an approved teacher education course. Madonna University is fully accredited by both the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. These graduate credits are non-degree graduate credits used to satisfy the requirements of certificate renewal and salary increase. The tuition is $150 per semester hour. This does not include the cost of taking the course.
Who Can Apply for Credit?
All educators with a professional (permanent) certificate, practicing administrators, school psychologists, and support personnel may participate in this program.
How to Earn Graduate Credit for an ed2Go Online Course:
Each ed2go online class is 24 contact hours of training. A graduate credit requires 15 contact hours. Therefore, one online class earns one academic credit. The nine remaining contact hours can be applied to a future course, if you choose to do so.
Step One
Select an approved teacher development course from the list and register for the class. You will need to create a user name and password as part of the enrollment and orientation process.
Step Two
Register and pay for your Madonna University PDP Graduate Credit within 2 weeks of beginning the ed2go online course.
Register and pay online at Madonna University (Use EDU 5861.31 for all classes).
If you prefer to mail in your registration and payment, print out the ed2go Permit to Register Form.
Step Three
Complete the online class(es) you are taking for credit.
Step Four
Download the Graduate Credit Assignment Form. On this form you will record your hours from the training sessions, briefly summarize the content of the sessions you attended (150 words is sufficient), and then write an essay on how you plan to implement that knowledge in your job. There are some guiding questions on the assignment template. For every 15 hours of professional development training, you should have a paper of 3-5 pages in length.
Step Five
Mail your Professional Development Program graduate credit course paper to our office for processing. Include the certificate(s) of completion that you receive from ed2go or other presenting organizations. It takes approximately two weeks from the time we receive your paper for your credit to be posted to your transcript.
