CORE P.D. is a NYSED Approved CTLE Sponsor
"Everyone at CORE P.D. is absolutely phenomenal! Thank you for another great course!"
"I received my course completion and CTLE certificates today - thank you for getting them to me
so very quickly! I just want to say 'thank you' for such a wonderful experience! From beginning
to end, everything with CORE P.D. was fantastic! I certainly see what all the hype was about;
all of the great things I heard about CORE are true! I will definitely be back soon for another course!"
"As with all Core P.D. classes I have taken, I was impressed and engaged throughout the entire course. While I am still blown away by the considerate responses that are given after each assignment,
it was clear the articles in this course were thoughtfully and deliberately chosen to best meet
the needs of the readers and learners. There is no question that I learn new information during
these courses; however, my favorite thing is when I find resources that I can bring right back
to my classroom to benefit of my students. Understanding the many levels and aspects of diversity can be overwhelming at times. However, this course broke each piece down, allowing me to leave feeling confident in my understanding of diversity in schools. Thank you for the assignments and your comments, which always brought my understanding and thinking to the next level."
"Thank you again for this wonderful course! The pace and workload was just right and I
really appreciate all of the detailed feedback on each assignment. I look forward to
future opportunities to advance myself as an educator through CORE PD classes!"
"Thank you so much for another oustanding course! CORE Professional Development is an amazing site
and I have been recommending it to coworkers. I learned so many things about how I can better incorporate multiculturalism into my classroom. Thank you so much for your thorough responses and for sharing so many personal stories; it really makes me feel like I am not alone. I look forward
to bringing awareness to my building and hopefully across my district. Thank you!"
"I have learned so much from these courses. I always knew how crucial it is to develop
strong relationships with my students, but this course really allowed me to reflect on the
relationships I have built with my students. The articles, videos and activities were wonderful
resources, all of which I will refer back to in order to strengthen my craft. Thank you!"
"CORE Professional Development is so much better and more efficient than other
institutes where I've taken classes! I'll keep recommending your great courses! Thank you!"
"As always, your course was great! I found all the assignments worthwhile; they provided
me with time to learn, to reflect on my practice, and to make goals for the future by
incorporating key points from the readings. Thank you once again for another great class!"
