Educator Professional Development

The Educator Professional Development program offers a variety of professional development courses designed to help practicing educators fulfill continuing education requirements while adding state-approved teaching endorsements to their current teacher certifications.

Available Associate Degrees and Certificates

Teacher endorsement courses offered through MCC are scheduled upon school or school district request [Exception: early childhood endorsement courses are regularly offered as well as some of the SEI and ESL courses]. Groups of AT LEAST 15 certified, practicing educators meet as cohorts to take evening or summer classes together.  Classes may be held on-site in the requesting district’s buildings or at an MCC campus.  If you are certified but are not an employee of one of our partner school districts, you may still enroll in the teacher endorsement classes offered when space is available.

Meet with an Advisor

Before signing up for classes, you’ll want to meet with an academic advisor. Together, you’ll lay out a program and career path that suits you best. This step is essential to your academic success, so don’t skip it, okay?

Advising for the Educator Professional Development program is available through the Education Studies department. You can also contact Advisement & Registration Services for general advising. Both will help you determine the exact courses you need to get the education you’re looking for.
