District Designed Professional Development
CMU wants to be your partner of choice!
The professional development programs developed for and by your district relate specifically to the skills and abilities that you want your educators to gain. By partnering with Central Michigan University you can add a university credit component to your offerings, which provides a way for your administrators and educators to earn graduate credits toward certificate renewal and step advancement.
Collaborating with CMU offers districts the following benefits:
- University credit for educators and administrators seeking certificate renewal and step advancement.
- Revenue sharing with the district.
- The ability to offer your onsite programs in conjunction with a higher education partner.
