Distinguished PE has officially launched new self-paced courses! You can take them for graduate-level credit, for hours toward renewing your teaching license, or simply for your own professional growth and reflection.



Each course aligns with a chapter from Becoming a Distinguished Physical Education Teacher and provides opportunities for authentic, job-embedded learning:



 



The following three credit, self-paced courses are now available:



DPE 101: Promoting Inclusivity and Engagement



DPE 102: High Expectations for Student Behavior



DPE 103: Optimizing Use of Space and Resources



DPE 104: Standards-Based Content and Language Objectives



DPE 105: Assessing Students’ Progress and Understanding



 



You can earn three graduate-level credits for each course (15 total if you complete all five) through Colorado State University Pueblo, which can help teachers move over on their pay scale in many districts. These credits can also be used toward a Masters Degree at CSU!



If you’re looking for renewal hours, each one offers up to 100 hours toward your teaching license.
