She already earned 36 lower level credits in education from a community college. I found many ways she could earn more credits cheaply through the various methods listed on this site (Coopersmith and Study.com have many Education courses), but could not find any education programs at COSC, TESU, or EC. Do any of the big 3, or similar schools with low residency requirements, offer an education-related degree? This could be in Education, Early Childhood Education, etc.
Master's degrees for licensed K-12 teachers are easy and cheap to find- much more so than undergraduate degrees (which would be gen eds + pedagogy). If she really just wants to learn pedagogy, then a master's will do the trick. BUT, if she ISN'T a full time employeed teacher, I'd back out of that suggestion and say that the master's would probably make it harder to land a K-12 teaching job.
