Receive graduate credit
Character Development Seminars give educators a variety of tools to implement an effective and sustainable character education program. They can also award teachers with an hour or more of graduate credit.
Credits are generally used for teacher certification and/or salary enhancement purposes. Consult with your academic program first if you plan to transfer the credit to a degree program. Local policies on CEUs vary, so please find out your local requirements. We will be happy to provide a signed certificate of completion to qualifying CDS graduates.
