Our professional learning courses utilize blended and personalized learning to allow educators choice and the ability to learn, practice, implement content in their classrooms, and reflect upon course content. For a more in-depth look at our courses please visit our course information page and about us page. 

Yes! We partner with schools to provide their educators the opportunity to receive professional learning credit hours for each course they complete.

This partnership provides their educators yearly memberships and includes course instructor individualized feedback/support to each educator as they work to complete course activities. After completion, course completion will be validated and educators will receive a certificate of completion for the number of credit hours designated for each course.  For example, educators who complete the blended learning course will receive a certificate of completion for 3 continuing education credits. Additionally, administrators will receive a spreadsheet listing which educators completed which courses. 

For individual educators who are looking to earn credit hours from TCC courses, we are happy to assist you too! For information about registering for a Contemporary Teacher membership please e-mail andrea@thecontemporaryclassroom.org. Since each state’s requirements are different we ask that you check with your district/administration prior to your registration.

E-mail andrea@thecontemporaryclassroom.org to register to become a TCC member and be able to formally take TCC courses.

Some are! Our MakerSpace course allows users the opportunity to enroll for free and earn certificates of completion for 3 hours of MakerSpace PD.

TCC’s goal is to help educators best meet the needs of their students. To provide access to all educators, we ALSO provide the content of our professional learning courses via “think pieces.”  Educators may read the think piece articles for their own personal learning and personal use of our lesson plans. We do not offer users certificates for engaging in our think piece articles. However, we hope that the information within them will help you! 

To formally enroll in our courses, we offer memberships to allow educators the opportunity to formally engage in our course content. This includes the opportunity to receive individualized support/feedback from experts as educators work to complete course activities, course activity validation, and a certificate of completion for the number of credit hours designated for the course they completed. To register to receive these services, you can find more information by visiting our pricing page.

Credit hours for each course vary. The number of hours for credit is based on the following: time taken to read the course content, time taken to complete the Call(s) To Action, and time taken to respond to the Call(s) to Action. 

It is stated at the beginning of each course how many hours are available.

We believe the more opportunities educators have to engage in course content and complete course activities, the stronger they become in their ability to integrate the skills in their classrooms. Therefore, we allow educators the opportunity to formally participate in courses repeatedly for 75% of the original continuing education credit hours. They must provide different lesson responses than their previous answers in order to earn credit. For example, our blended learning courses certifies 3 hours of credit the 1st time. If an educator wants to take the course again, they do so for 2.25 credit hours. Additionally, to ensure educators are deepen their understanding of course content each time they take a course, we work very closely with educators to ensure their course work is different each time. 

No. The exception is if you are re-registering for a course – then you will receive 75% of the original credit hours. 

If you are using a purchase order, you will receive an invoice. Once payment has been received, you will be provided an individualized access code and will be considered a registered TCC member who is able to formally use our courses. 

Due to the costs and materials associated with membership and providing opportunities for educators to formally complete our online courses we are unable to provide refunds. We do allow you to transfer your membership to another educator prior to you beginning your course work. Once you have begun course work, you are unable to transfer membership.
