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!"

SUMMER 2020 SCHEDULE
June 29, 2020 - August 31, 2020
Chronological Listing of Summer 2020 In-Service Courses
NOTE: All courses may also be taken for 45 CTLE hours
ATTENTION ALL EDUCATORS:
The Governor of New York has canceled all in-person summer school classes throughout the state for the Summer of 2020.
At CORE P.D. we will continue to prioritize the well-being of
our participants and so, with sincere regret, we are changing the delivery of all of our in-person summer classes. We will continue doing what we did for the second half of the Spring 2020 semester and teach all of the scheduled hybrids and on-site classes in an online format. Your districts were extremely understanding regarding approval of the Spring classes during the pandemic, even districts that usually allow only in-person courses. I don't know what each individual district is planning for the summer re. approval of professional development courses so I would urge you to get pre-approved for all summer classes before submitting payment. In addition to our on-site and hybrid courses, we continue to offer many online classes covering a broad
variety of topics and taught by different instructors.
We wish things were 'back to normal' and we know you do too. These are challenging times in so many ways and we wish you all good health throughout the spring and summer. Thank you for continuing to take our classes and, as always, please know how much we enjoy and appreciate the time you spend with us.

SUMMER 2020 SCHEDULE
June 29, 2020 - August 31, 2020
Chronological Listing of Summer 2020 In-Service Courses
NOTE: All courses may also be taken for 45 CTLE hours
ATTENTION ALL EDUCATORS:
The Governor of New York has canceled all in-person summer school classes throughout the state for the Summer of 2020.
At CORE P.D. we will continue to prioritize the well-being of
our participants and so, with sincere regret, we are changing the delivery of all of our in-person summer classes. We will continue doing what we did for the second half of the Spring 2020 semester and teach all of the scheduled hybrids and on-site classes in an online format. Your districts were extremely understanding regarding approval of the Spring classes during the pandemic, even districts that usually allow only in-person courses. I don't know what each individual district is planning for the summer re. approval of professional development courses so I would urge you to get pre-approved for all summer classes before submitting payment. In addition to our on-site and hybrid courses, we continue to offer many online classes covering a broad
variety of topics and taught by different instructors.
We wish things were 'back to normal' and we know you do too. These are challenging times in so many ways and we wish you all good health throughout the spring and summer. Thank you for continuing to take our classes and, as always, please know how much we enjoy and appreciate the time you spend with us.
