This course was designed to take four weeks to complete.  In its original design, the content was "dripped" to students one week at a time -- but in an effort to increase flexibility, all course content available immediately upon registering.  (If you feel the urge to binge your professional learning over a long weekend -- well, why not?!) Upon completion of the course, you will receive a professional development certificate for 20 PD hours.

Most likely!

Most school districts set aside a sizable pool of money in their budgets for professional development purposes, and Teacher Fuel's coursework falls into the same category as the kinds of workshops or conferences that schools have traditionally paid to send teachers to.

The majority of school districts are also awarded Title II funding from the government in order to provide continuous, ongoing training that helps teachers to learn new strategies to help students achieve at higher levels... and Teacher Fuel serves precisely this purpose!

All of our coursework was built with flexibility in mind.  We know how busy teachers' lives are.  We know that on top of papers to grade and lessons to plan, you have a family, friends, and hobbies of your own.  That's why our course adheres to the following:

• Self-paced lesson modules, so you can proceed through each course as quickly or slowly as makes sense for you.  (You can devour our coursework in intensive sprints ... or, you can "drip feed" our content slowly over the course of the school year.)
• Our coursework cuts the fluff, so everything is meaningful, and everything will have a direct impact on your teaching.  We aren't here to waste your time.  We're here to fuel your passion and refine your craft.
• Many of our video modules double as audio modules.  Turn your commute into a world class professional development experience at the push of a button.
• Our coursework is web based and is optimized to work on any device.  Start at your desktop computer in your classroom, continue on your mobile phone on your drive home, and wrap up on a laptop or tablet before bed.  

We know that your time is valuable, so we've prioritized making our coursework as flexible and impactful as possible.  If you make the choice to prioritize your professional development, Teacher Fuel will give you the tools you need to grow and succeed!

Yes!  Our coursework is designed to bridge theory and practice, and to provide teachers with practical strategies they can implement immediately.  This is where our coursework is designed to shine, and is precisely where most graduate courses and workshops fall short.  

Beyond improving your teaching, some of our course modules (especially Neuroscience & Student Engagement) are designed to transform your understanding of teaching and learning.  Check out teacher testimonials to learn more!

When you complete our "Modern Mastery" series and earn our certificate, you're demonstrating -- to your employer, your principal, your students, your parents, and yourself -- that you are committed to being the best teacher that you can be.

Our "Modern Mastery Certification" is built to help teachers set themselves apart, and to empower them with cutting edge PD that is otherwise nearly impossible to track down, afford, and attend.  Your current principal, or any prospective school district at which you may be seeking employment, will surely be impressed knowing you're this committed to the art of teaching, the science of learning, and world class professional growth.

While the manner in which PD hours are awarded varies from district to district, Teacher Fuel's Modern Mastery online PD course does culminate with a PD Certificate that indicates how many hours the course is designed to take (20 hours).

Yes!  In short, Teacher Fuel was designed to shine where the vast majority of university courses and workshops fall short.

Most graduate programs and grad courses are handcuffed to specific rules and requirements.  Sometimes, they're stuck focusing on new state initiatives.  Sometimes, they're handcuffed to archaic practices that they would be criticized by purists for skipping out on.  Often, their curricula is so packed with educational theorists from the 1800s, courses about education reform, lectures about Piaget and Vygostsky, and field experiences that the notion of introducing additional courses on modern teaching practices is simply out of reach.

Some of the best graduate programs in the world do offer courses on Neuroscience, on Game-Based Learning, on Student Centered Instruction, and more.  We love Dartmouth's center for cognitive neuroscience.  We love the University of Wisconsin-Madison's courses on game-based learning.  And we love how Harvard's graduate school of education has embraced bringing student centered instruction to the forefront of its teaching and learning curriculum.  But it's Teacher Fuel's mission to take all of that really good stuff, to make it accessible and practical, and to offer it here.​​​​

The cost of our program should never be the barrier preventing you from participating.  We've built our courses with accessibility in mind, so if cost is an issue, consider the following:

(#1) Ask your school district to cover the costs of your professional development!  Moneys budgeted for professional development and/or Title II funding are both great ways to any school district to pay for your registration.  To request a quote for your school or district, click here.

(#2) We do offer a payment plan that breaks the cost of the course down into four affordable monthly payments.

(#3) Fundraising platforms such as DonorsChoose can be a great way to raise money for educational projects and professional endeavors, too!

Teacher Fuel was built for the purpose of delivering high quality and cutting edge PD to teachers across the world in a convenient, affordable, and practical manner.  Most online courses are thrown together as a way for educational companies to make a few extra bucks.  They're afterthoughts, and they often feel like afterthoughts.  

For Teacher Fuel, PD isn't an afterthought.  It's our lifeblood.

Our passion for teaching and learning is unparalleled.  Our commitment to empowering teachers is tremendous.  Our courses put you in the driver's seat of your professional growth.  And we're so invested in your experience that we're happy to offer a full refund within seven days of your course registration if you're dissatisfied for any reason.

The length of your course access may vary depending on the level of your course registration, but typically, registration provides access for a minimum of one full year.
