Capella has partnered with Sophia to create a series of flexible, online professional development courses that help teachers adapt to next generation, digital classrooms. Teachers can take classes ranging from adapting instruction around the new standards to strategies for one-to-one device environments. Prices for different courses vary, depending on the number of credits in each course and its type (Contact Hours or Graduate Credit).

APPROACH

Through the Capella PD course website, teachers can choose from a list of online courses for either continuing education clock hours or optional graduate credits. Courses range from Digital Citizenship to Instructional Coaching. The complete list of courses can be found  here.

IMPLEMENTATION

Capella courses are all available through any modern browser and can be completed entirely online.

PRICING

Each professional development course can be completed for continuing education hours, and this version costs $95 per credit (the number of credits for each course is listed on its web page ). Teachers can upgrade the course for $145 per credit and complete additional work to earn graduate credit.
