Yes, there is a certificate of completion. It is the last document in the list of teachers’ resources. We have no way of monitoring the number of hours teachers have viewed and reviewed sections of each seminar; however, we trust the teachers will use the honor system. There is room on the certificate for teachers to document new goals based on self-assessment guidelines and projects they have completed with total number of actual hours spent. Honestly, teachers who want to implement these strategies will spend 5-10 hours per seminar downloading documents, reviewing sections, backing and laminating the props from the resources, completing the self-evaluation, and writing goals. That is why many districts use these for their professional learning community (PLC) time during the school year. NEOS is especially powerful for teams of preK-1 educators.

Each online seminar begins with a comprehensive self-assessment and a list of practicum projects that teachers can consider implementing. A certificate of completion document is part of the resource download with room for the teacher to list either their new professional goals after studying this NEOS or to list the project completed and number of hours spent implementing these strategies in the classroom.

Why not pursue PD credits for your efforts? Or work closely with your school districts and accrediting agencies to ensure you receive appropriate recognition for your PD. We believe that all teachers and caregivers want to take their teaching to a higher level. Our purpose in creating online seminars is to inspire educators to make best practices routine in their classrooms.

Up to 3 semester units of post-baccalaureate professional development credits are available through the University of the Pacific in California for each Nellie Edge Online Seminar. Read more details in our Professional Development section section. 15 hours of practicum project work is required for each unit of credit. You may also work through your district crediting systems, using our detailed goals statement.

Literacy leaders from school districts, universities, and individual states are welcome to offer NEOS PDUs through their preferred crediting system. Use our Self-Assessment Guidelines, practicum suggestions, and goals statement when filling out the required application. We also recommend you include in your proposal at least 5-10 additional hours for organizing and making the props to implement each Nellie Edge Online Seminar.

Follow-up practicum projects through the University of the Pacific require 15 hours per semester credit. This is acceptable where local school districts approve and are applicable to state licensure where such activities are approved. We recommend that you always check with your literacy director or university counselor to verify the appropriateness of all professional development opportunities for your teaching credentials. For other credit questions, please call Dr. Allen Lifson at 1-800-479-1995 (teacherfriendly.com).

You are not limited to our PDU arrangement with the University of the Pacific. You may also work through your own crediting agency if that is more cost-effective or convenient.

After you send in your registration (which is available once you register for each online seminar), you have four months and, if necessary, you can request an extension from the University of the Pacific.

After watching the Nellie Edge Online Seminar and reviewing your notes on the seminar Power Guide EBook, study the Self-Assessment Guidelines and Practicum Suggestions. Reflect on what you are most passionate about. What will take your teaching to a higher level? Set personal goals to organize and develop curriculum ideas that you will implement. (Remember, you have unlimited access (3 years) to the Nellie Edge Online Seminar.) Take photos or make copies of your work. (Consider saving a copy of your documentation for your professional portfolio: these projects have supported many teachers in pursuing National Board Certification.) Each practicum project that you develop could easily take you 15 hours; some may take much longer. Read more details in our Professional Development section.

Teachers from across the country have repeatedly told us that the engaging multisensory strategies that Nellie Edge demonstrates are the very ones that helped them attain National Board Certification. You will experience Best Practice Research in action.

Nellie Edge Seminars helped mold me into the accomplished teacher I am today. I became a Nationally Board Certified Teacher because of the type of classroom and teaching style I have. I wouldn’t have this style without Nellie Edge! –Katy Anholt, NBCT
