Student Courses "I have worked at Tremont High School for 8 years and have been involved with USDLC since I started. We have seen our distance learning program grow into a program that we are very proud of and it is because of the great support and classes that are provided by USDLC.    These types of classes are wonderful for us since we are a small school. It gives our students the opportunity to take classes that they are interested in that could not be offered at our school. Thanks USDLC for everything that you do."

PD Feedback   "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!!"   Virginia "Ginger" Martin Scotland County - NC Ginger completed 67 modules over the summer. See "Read More" for how you can earn CEU credit this summer. � Details...

Best Practices in School Library Media Programs

alt Best Practices in School Library Media Programs "has been one of the best staff development series that we have ever used in Harnett County. Media coordinators learned much about the role that they should play in our schools to impact student learning from the broadcasts [now available online] as well as the online modules. They liked the fact that they could view the broadcasts as a group or individually and that the online modules were completed independently. The latter were particularly suited for the differences in experience and learning styles of our media personnel. We...believe that it [the program] is partially responsible for a strong media program in Harnett County."
