"I wanted to thank you again for all the help you gave me last summer..I finished my 15 CEUs...I delivered my credits to the state department of education and had a fully active license the same day.

One week later I got a position in Scotland County Schools teaching Special Ed.  I could not have done it without your help and patience. Having an active license made a difference.   

Keep up the good work!!   I have already suggested it (your professional development) to several other teachers needing points."

-- Virginia "Ginger" Martin, Scotland County, NC


Congratulations, Ginger!  You completed the most modules last summer of any of our participants --- 67 modules total (with hours varying from 1-3 per module, you certainly were very busy this summer)!!   We are glad to be of help to part-time and retired teachers seeking clock hours to maintain their certification.
