SF State's College of Extended Learning is excited to offer a series of courses designed to help teachers master the challenges of today's classrooms. The topics covered fall into three main categories: Classroom Management, Special Needs Students and Violence & Harassment in Schools. These interactive online courses provide expert instruction and for your convenience, can be completed at a pace that fits your schedule (but must be completed within the term enrolled). You may take any one class or as many as you like from any of the topics.
The courses are set up much like books with chapters and exams, with an exam after each chapter that will be taken on your computer. All courses are now also tablet compatible. VESi recommends that you check with your school district and/or state licensing agency to verify these course offerings will meet your district and/or state requirements for salary advancement and/or state certificate re-licensure.
