CORE P.D. is a NYSED Approved CTLE Sponsor
"Thank you so much for another oustanding course! CORE Professional Development is an amazing institute 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 will highly recommend your courses to my colleagues! I thoroughly enjoyed the three courses I took and found myself looking forward to the content of every assignment. I cannot thank you and your staff enough for the effort and care that is put into every course. I look forward to taking many more classes with CORE Professional Development. Thanks again for all you do!"
"I have now completed all six of my CORE P.D. courses for this semester. You and your team are an amazing group of people. Thank you for everything; I have enjoyed all of my classes. Thank you for your support, kindness and making a difference while I am pursuing my professional
development credits. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have taken these courses with you!"
"I am never disappointed in CORE P.D. courses and find that they are the most worthwhile ones out there. As always, thank you for your fantastic feedback after each assignment; it is so wonderful to read your responses and know how thoroughly you reviewed my work. This course flew by so quickly! I will be taking two more courses this semester and I once again will be looking forward to them!
"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!"
"This class was wonderful! For an online platform, I found the outline of work extremely straightforward and easy to navigate. The materials were interesting and "new" - they did not feel like the usual and tired resources used in other professional development courses. I loved your personal feedback. I'm not sure I have ever taken a class where the instructor took the time to write such personalized feedback for each assignment! I always looked forward to reading your responses.
I wish I knew about CORE P.D. courses sooner!"
"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!"
