Flexible Credit Option: One Credit Courses Offered, Available as Three-Credit Option
This fall, the GPDE program will be offering additional one-credit courses that are available as three credit courses.These courses are delivered as flexible credit option courses (FCO).
For example, GPDE 5116A Using Questioning to Promote Learning is a one-credit GPDE course that will be offered this summer. Learners may elect to enroll in the course for one or three semester credits. Instead of enrolling in GPDE 5116A, learners who want to earn three semester credits can elect to enroll in GPDE 5116B (or specified section) Using Questioning to Promote Learning. Learners in GPDE 5116B will focus their continued inquiry on concepts of interest or need that were part of the GPDE 5116A curriculum. The guided inquiry credits will extend the learners' engagement with the main concepts from the one-credit course.
Flexible credit option courses allow learners to:
Explore a greater variety of current topics and trends in education
Enjoy increased flexibility to accommodate your schedule
Investigate course concepts that meet your needs
Embed your learning in your instructional planning
Receive responsive, supportive instructional coaching
Instructors of those same courses will have the opportunity to serve as an instructional coach for the two additional credits.
The additional one-credit courses will provide learners the opportunity to investigate a more expansive variety of educational issues and trends. A number of the three-credit courses currently offered through the GPDE program will be modified and delivered as one-credit courses, as well.
One-credit courses focusing on assessment, questioning, goal setting, and non-linguistic representations are being offered this summer. The flexible credit option does not apply to one-credit courses offered as EDUC courses that may be dual-coded.
