"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!"
"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 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!"

Statement to Districts and Educators
from CORE P.D. re. Summer 2021 Classes
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ongoing concerns about COVID-19, on-site and hybrid courses will be delivered via Google Meets for the Summer 2021 session. This provides a safe way to offer educators an ‘in-person’ class experience with a CORE instructor in a classroom-type environment. This is being done out of an abundance of caution and our desire to ensure the safety of our instructors and the educators who take our classes. Thus, all on-site and hybrid courses are limited to a total of SIX PARTICIPANTS so we recommend that you register early as classes may close quickly. If classes have fewer than four participants, delivery will be done in an online format. Please contact us with any questions about our Summer 2021 Schedule.

Chronological Listing of Summer 2021 In-Service Courses

Statement to Districts and Educators
from CORE P.D. re. Summer 2021 Classes
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ongoing concerns about COVID-19, on-site and hybrid courses will be delivered via Google Meets for the Summer 2021 session. This provides a safe way to offer educators an ‘in-person’ class experience with a CORE instructor in a classroom-type environment. This is being done out of an abundance of caution and our desire to ensure the safety of our instructors and the educators who take our classes. Thus, all on-site and hybrid courses are limited to a total of SIX PARTICIPANTS so we recommend that you register early as classes may close quickly. If classes have fewer than four participants, delivery will be done in an online format. Please contact us with any questions about our Summer 2021 Schedule.
ON-SITE, IN-PERSON COURSES
Originally scheduled to be in person at our convenient Commack location.
SEE NOTE ABOVE RE. DELIVERY OF ON-SITE CLASSES.
