Need help with online courses for teachers

Try Western Governors University. www.wgu.edu They have a teachers college and they are fully accredited and reasonably priced. I got my BS from their technology school and an MBA from their business school. PM me if you want details.

I am a hs teacher and most counties where I live have deals worked out with local colleges that offer a program for new and current teachers. I would check out the online resources from your county and they should point you in the right direction.

Personal side, I went to George Washington University, and part of my program was working in a school for a year and taking the decided courses. Because I was working in the school almost all of my classes were paid for by the county, thereby saving me almost 30k and I finished with a Masters in Education. So do some research into the local offers and you could save yourself a ton of money.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions. She ended up finding a place through Eastern Oregon University and it was fully accredited. She needed this for her continuing education credits. I will keep all of these in my back pocket.

We just have to hope now that all of the timing works out for getting her license renewed.
