District Designed Professional Development
CMU wants to be your higher education partner!
Professional development programs developed for and by your district relate
specifically to the skills and abilities you want your educators to gain.
By partnering with Central Michigan University through the District Designed
Professional Development (DDPD) program you can offer university credit
for your professional development.
Collaborating with CMU offers districts these benefits:
- University credit for educators and administrators seeking certificate renewal
and step advancement
- Revenue return
- Partnership with higher education
- Local content experts as instructors
- Content focused on school district needs
"CMU’s
District Designed Professional Development (DDPD) is one of the best
opportunities we have to customize our offerings at Bay-Arenac ISD and meet the
needs of K-12 teachers in central Michigan schools. With our close working
relationship, we are able to identify needs of practicing
teachers/administrators and design specific, current courses. We appreciate the
partnership and look forward to continued success!"
