Do you need credits for your professional and salary advancement?

You'll get a certificate of attendance at the end of your Responsive Classroom workshop or institute. (Workshops are generally 6 hours, and institutes are 30.)

If you need graduate-level, professional development credit for your work, you can earn it through Brandman University, part of the Chapman University system in Irvine, California.

Cost is $70 per credit. Completion of a 30-hour Responsive Classroom institute is required and is a separate tuition and registration process.
