ACT Advancement Courses for Teachers

[marti_lil]

Hi! I'm new to this board. In 2000, I earned my degree in Social Sciences/History from TESC. Since earning my degree, I've been working as an instructional tutor part-time, as well as doing some as-needed outreach for a Cancer Education program. When I'm not working or taking care of kids, I look for and take low or no-cost professional development courses. Most are at the undergraduate level, but I took one recently at the graduate level. (Up to this point, I haven't pursued a graduate degree program because I didn't know exactly what I wanted to pursue, and I was concerned about my finances.) The course was called Grant Making made Simple through the ACT Program (University of California at Monterey Bay). The courses through the ACT Program are relatively inexpensive--especially when you use their discount codes. I was also thinking about taking a graduate level course in TESOL, TEFL, or CELTA which I can apply towards a graduate degree, if possible. I was thinking about pursuing a graduate degree in Professional Studies through Amberton, Thomas Edison, Excelsior, or APUS (if they have one.) Anyway, I've been wondering as well if passing graduate level, professional development courses from the ACT Program or passing an accredited TESOL program can be applied to one of these graduate degree programs. It might cut down on my graduate school expenses if I choose to pursue one of these programs. Just thinking........ Any suggestions! Let me know. Take care! Lilith
