Course Description

Credit Validation for NCTM Participants Only

Join the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for the 2026 Spring Conference, March 16–18, in New Orleans.

With the vibrant city of New Orleans as a backdrop—a place shaped by cultural fusion, resilience, and creative expression—educators are invited to come together like a jazz ensemble: to listen, experiment, and create a new mathematical harmony.

University of San Diego – Graduate-Level Extension Credit Information

The University of San Diego partners with this program to offer graduate-level extension credit(s) in semester hours through the Credit Validation Program. To earn units, participants must register for and successfully complete coursework through the external program provider.

Credits earned through USD’s Credit Validation Program are widely accepted by many school districts and universities across the United States for purposes such as license renewal, required professional development hours, short-term skill building, salary advancement, credentialing, and potential advanced degree pathways. These units do not apply toward a master’s or higher degree program at the University of San Diego; however, they may be transferable to advanced degree programs (e.g., MA, EdD, PhD) at other institutions that accept external graduate-level credits.

Participants are responsible for confirming acceptance, transcript requirements, deadlines, and applicability of units with their employing district or intended institution prior to enrollment.
