PD Center

The SAS PD Center contains free online professional development courses. Pennsylvania educators are eligible to receive Act 48 credit upon successful course completion. There are job-embedded activities found in all of the courses that require educators to integrate the knowledge and skills learned within a course into the classroom. If you currently are not a full-time teacher or you have an educational role that supports students outside of the classroom, SASPD courses 1-8 contain alternate job-embedded activities that allow you to fulfill all course requirements to obtain Act 48 credit.

Effective Strategies Supporting Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies Instruction, Teaching in the 21st Century: The Need for Change, and K-12 Math Open-ended Problem Solving, contain numerous job-embedded activities that require classroom implementation. If you are unable to meet these requirements, please enroll in SASPD courses 1-8.

Please note: Educators may only take one of the Effective Strategies courses offered in the SAS PD Center. These include Effective Strategies Supporting Language Arts Instruction, Effective Strategies Supporting Mathematics Instruction, Effective Strategies Supporting Science Instruction, and Effective Strategies Supporting Social Studies Instruction.
