Course Description

Credit Validation for DoDEA Participants Only

This course allows participants to further explore major cultural shifts and discuss or debate their potential impact on students' social-emotional development and behavior, as well as strategies for addressing these issues in an educational setting. The readings build on concepts introduced in the original New Normal course (not a prerequisite) and are selected to promote critical thinking and dialogue, rather than offer definitive answers. Participants will read the selected titles and meet virtually with their Professional Learning Team to share insights and make both personal and professional connections. A final reflection paper will be submitted to the instructor at the end of the course.

Evaluate changes in student behavior within the educational setting and their potential impact on independence, emotional health, etc

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.
