    Extinguishing Teacher Burnout (3 Graduate Credits)

    $440.00

    This 3-credit course will allow you to learn the secret to extinguish and escape one of the most deadliest chronic illnesses in the workplace - BURNOUT.

    Click Here to View Syllabus UMass Global Course Code: EDDU 9087 When reading article after article in news outlets across the United States, teachers are not only exhausted, but many are leaving the teaching profession altogether. This course is amazing in that it is a one of a kind class that focuses just on K-12 Teachers who are feeling the burnout during the Covid19/Omicron Pandemic and beyond. Although there are a number of professions (such as tuna fishing, air traffic control, oil drilling, lumber hauling, etc) that exhaust workers, there is no profession like the teaching profession where one must know how to be both an educator, a counselor, a shoulder to cry on, a pandemic prevention specialist, and a education professional - all at the same time. Add to this the experience of a pandemic with having kids at home and one's own health to deal with, you find yourself with a recipe for disaster. This course explains how the solution to teacher burnout is very similar to the solution that fighter pilots must acquire when they are experiencing a G-force on their chest. Take this class and preserve your profession. Number of Professional Development Credits Teachers throughout the U.S. can earn 3 graduate-level university credits. Target Audience This course is designed for all types of Pre-K through 12th grade teachers, including early childhood education teachers, elementary school teachers, middle school teachers, high school teachers, special education teachers, staff, and administrators.

    STEAM Everyday for Everyone – Online Professional Development Course

    This 1-credit online course provides practical tips, ideas, and resources for how to integrate STEAM into all of your lesson plans and curriculum. Click Here to View Syllabus LAUSD Course Code: NA-11-123 UMass Global University Course Code: EDTU 9026 Course Description In years past, core subjects such as science, math, and engineering were distinctly separate from the arts, and seemingly students had an interest in one type of education or the other, but never both. Research has shown, however, that students who have access to the arts, as well as science and math, are more invested in learning, more motivated to come to school, and more apt to perform better in all subjects. That’s why STEAM education is become more commonplace, as it rapidly gains ground inside elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, and as districts around the country add STEAM schools. If you’d like to learn more about STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math) and how to incorporate it into your teaching, this online professional development course is for you. The class is based on the notion that every student is a scientist-artist, but that the joy of creativity and artistic expression are often squelched as students are introduced to more rigid and less stimulating approaches to learning. But why can’t the “artist” in everyone flourish, not only in school, but also in life…not only when students are young, but also throughout their lives. In this online STEAM course, you’ll learn how to assimilate the arts and sciences into your lesson plans and curriculum, in order to provide a richer learning experience for your students. Designed for all types of teachers, this online professional development course on STEAM covers a variety of topics, including:

    • student thinking and reflection

    Becoming An Accountant / Finance Person (2 Grad Credits)

    $351.00
    Course Title: Becoming An Accountant Number of Credits: 2 Credits (30hours) Objectives Here are the four concepts that will change how you see money forever:  
    LEARN CONCEPT 1:  Saving money reaps rewards in the future. This sounds obvious, yet most people never do it. The student who saves $50 a month from age 16 will have over $600 by graduation. Invested wisely, that seed grows. Know this concept and practice it, and you will win big. LEARN CONCEPT 2:  Spending money on things that make money is called investing. Jake (you'll meet him in Chapter 7) bought a truck and a commercial mower with his savings, not sneakers. That purchase made him more money. Spending on things that earn you MORE money is the single biggest difference between the wealthy and everyone else. Know this concept and you will win big. LEARN CONCEPT 3:  A Profit & Loss (P&L) report shows you whether you are winning or losing with money. If you track what comes in and what goes out, you will never be surprised by an empty bank account. Every business uses a P&L. Every finance professional read one. You will too, by the end of this course. LEARN CONCEPT 4:  A little discipline on your finances today creates long-term freedom. Jake summed it up perfectly at his graduation party. When asked what was the best thing he bought with his savings, he said: "Freedom. I bought freedom." Discipline is not about being cheap. It is about being in control.
    Course Overview The 3 Ms of Finance, A Letter to Students  
    Dear Future Finance Rockstar, Have you ever wondered why some people always seem to have money while others are always broken, even when they earn the same amount? The answer is not luck. It is not talent. It is not even how much you earn. It is three simple things:
     
    M1 MAKE Money Earn it, jobs, side hustles, businesses M2 MANAGE Money Budget, save, track every dollar M3 MULTIPLY Money Invest, make your money work for you
     
    👩‍🏫 TEACHER TIP When speaking to high schoolers, don't try to push every concept at once. Keep it simple and come back to these 3 M's again and again. The lemonade stand, the grass-cutting business, and the newspaper route help make these concepts practical and real. If students remember only one thing from this course, let it be: Make, Manage, multiply.
      Finance is About Mastering CONCEPTS, Not Memorizing Formulas This course is built around a powerful idea: the person who understands a few core financial concepts, and actually applies them, will outperform someone who memorized every formula in the textbook but never put them to use.   Course Outline Welcome, The 3 Ms of Finance, A Letter to Students 3 Chapter 1, Money 101, Understanding Your Own Finances 5 Chapter 2, The Language of Finance, Key Accounting Concepts 7 Chapter 3, Real-World Scenarios, Finance on the Job 9 Chapter 4, The Finance Career, Jobs, Descriptions & Career Path 12 Chapter 5, Getting Hired (Or not!), Resumes & What Goes Wrong 14 Chapter 6, Your Roadmap, Education, Courses & Next Steps 16 Chapter 7, Taking the Pathway Untrodden, Smart Stories of Young Winners 18   Description of Activities

  • Becoming A Digital Marketer (1 Grad Credits)

    $271.00
    Course Title: Becoming A Digital Marketing Specialist Number of Credits: 1 Credits (15 hours) Click Here to View Syllabus UMass Global University Course Code: EDRU 9965 Four Concepts That Will Change How You See the Internet
    LEARN CONCEPT 1:  Every ad, post, and email you see was a deliberate business decision. Nothing online happens by accident in marketing. The color of a button, the exact words in a headline, the time a post goes live, all of it is tested and intentional. When you understand this, you stop being a passive consumer and start seeing the invisible architecture of the digital world. LEARN CONCEPT 2:  Attention is the most valuable currency of the digital age. Every platform, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Google, is competing for your eyeballs. Brands pay billions to get those eyeballs. The digital marketer's job is to earn attention, hold it, and direct it toward a business goal. LEARN CONCEPT 3:  Data turns guesswork into strategy. Unlike traditional advertising where you hoped your billboard reached the right person, digital marketing tells you exactly who saw your ad, clicked it, bought something, and how much it cost to get them there. That data is power, and learning to read it is one of the most valuable skills in the world. LEARN CONCEPT 4:  You can start building a digital marketing portfolio TODAY, with no budget. Run a social media page for a school club. Write a blog. Help a local business with their Instagram. Create a YouTube channel about something you love. Every piece of content you create is a portfolio item that demonstrates real-world skill to future employers.
    Course Overview The 3 Cs of Digital Marketing, A Letter to Students

Lawyers operate within this system to solve problems, protect people, and navigate complex rules that impact society daily.

    Course Title: BECOMING A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL  Number of Credits: 2 Credits (30 hours) Click Here to View Syllabus UMass Global University Course Code: EDRU 9954 Objectives LEARN CONCEPT 1: A principal’s most important job is not managing, it is leading. Management keeps things running. Leadership makes things better. A great principal does not simply maintain systems or enforce rules; they create a vision for what a school can become and inspire students, teachers, and families to work toward it together. LEARN CONCEPT 2: School culture is the most powerful force inside any school building. Culture shapes how students feel when they walk through the doors each morning. In strong schools, students feel safe, teachers feel supported, and families feel welcomed. Principals influence school culture more than anyone else because their leadership sets the emotional tone for the entire community. LEARN CONCEPT 3: Data is a school leader’s compass, not their judge. Attendance rates, test scores, graduation rates, discipline reports, and teacher retention all tell a story about a school. Effective principals use data with curiosity and compassion to guide improvement, solve problems, and ensure every student receives the support they need. LEARN CONCEPT 4: The best principals were almost always strong teachers first. School leadership begins with understanding teaching and learning at a deep level. Principals who have experienced the challenges and rewards of the classroom are better equipped to support teachers, connect with students, and make informed instructional decisions.

Students will explore real-world leadership scenarios, learn how schools operate, and examine the educational pathways required to become a principal. By the end of this course, students will better understand both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with leading a school community.

A project, formally defined, is a temporary endeavor with a defined beginning and end, undertaken to create something unique.

    • A communicator who ensures information flows clearly 
    • A problem-solver who steps in when things begin to break down

    This 3-credit course will allow you to learn the secret to extinguish and escape one of the most deadliest chronic illnesses in the workplace - BURNOUT. Click Here to View Syllabus Course Description When reading article after article in news outlets across the United States, teachers are not only exhausted, but many are leaving the teaching profession altogether.

Add to this the experience of a pandemic with having kids at home and one's own health to deal with, you find yourself with a recipe for disaster.
