About The Educator's Place in Colorado

The Educator's Place offers online courses that meet teachers' professional development needs for recertification and salary advancement credits.

We are teachers who know what teachers need and want with regard to their ever-changing curricula, their overfilling plates, and their lack of time to fit in some quality classes with information that can be used immediately in their own classrooms.

All of our Colorado instructors are either teachers that are presently in the classroom everyday, or are former teachers who have recently retired. 

Move forward in your career with professional development courses for teachers from The Educator’s Place, serving Colorado and beyond.

Our Students Are Saying...

The textbook in 'Work Smarter Not Harder' was amazing, and a great resource along with stories and examples from real teachers. This course was easily applicable to my profession, and I appreciated that I was able to complete the course on my own time!

Kari

I loved the quick feedback from my instructor in the course, 'Incorporating the Daily Five.' I was able to start my next lessons easily because I had feedback quickly, and knew if I needed to make changes. I am excited for my students to be more independent thanks to my new knowledge.

Tammy

'Motivation That Works' was full of strategies I could utilize immediately with my students. I also appreciated the instructor’s feedback on my blogs and assignments. I will share the textbook with my colleagues, and share strategies from the book also.

Kim

I have really enjoyed 'Teaching Mindfulness in the Classroom' and have learned so much...I wish I would have known this 25 years ago before I had my own kids. I think I could have been a way better parent with the knowledge I have gained.

Donna

I completed the course, 'Advance Communication through Listening.' I can apply it immediately to my personal life and professional life. I learned how to teach students to listen, and how we can listen better ourselves.
