Earn Upper Division Academic Credit

SF State Extended Learning is excited to offer a series of courses designed to help teachers master the challenges of today's classrooms. The topics covered fall into three main categories: Classroom Management, Special Needs Students, and Violence & Harassment in the Schools. These courses can be completed at home at your own pace and time. Students may enroll at any time throughout the semester. The courses generally take about two weeks to complete. For credit, courses must be completed by the end of the semester. There is an exam after each chapter that will be taken on your computer.

All courses offer upper division education (academic) credit that may be applied toward advancement on your salary scale. (Please check with your HR director for details and confirmation.)
