Course Description

This course will integrate curriculum reform with teaching strategies in a variety of subject matter areas. The purpose of this course is to assist educators in developing comprehensive teaching plans and actions that are standards-based. A variety of technologies may be used in the delivery of these courses.

Each unit of credit is based on 15 hours of instructional contact. The hours may be earned in combination with a variety of delivery systems, e.g., an online program of two hours followed by a two-hour workshop conducted by a curriculum specialist. The participant can then count 4 hours towards the unit of credit.

You need to maintain an attendance verification form for each workshop attended and the hours participated. The final enrollment requesting the units requires your signature verifying the information to be true and accurate and the verifying signature of the designated administrator, (i.e., assistant superintendent at your County Office of Education or the appointed administrator for selected school districts). A late fee of $10.00 per class will apply after the following dates:

• Fall 2008: December 1, 2008 - Official Transcripts will be available after December 1, 2008
• Spring 2009: May 1, 2009 - Official Transcripts will be available after May 1, 2009
• Summer 2009: August 1, 2009 - Official Transcripts will be available after August 1, 2009

All hours submitted for credit must have occurred within the last 12 months. No future hours will be considered for credit. The maximum number of units that can be earned in a single term is ten. Fees are $60 per unit of credit and are subject to change.

An enrollment/ verification registration form is required for each term requested (i.e., two forms need to be completed to enroll in INTD 854 and INTD 855). The original copy of the enrollment/attendance verification form must be returned to the Regional and Continuing Education Office at CSU, Chico via your county office. A printable version of this form is available online by clicking the registration form.

These courses are graded credit/no credit and do not meet degree or credential requirements. This is an umbrella course used to enroll educators who attend various workshops or conferences throughout the year. The title that will appear on your transcript will be: Multi-Disciplinary Professional Development. For your reference, we strongly encourage you to make a copy of the verification form for your files.
