Dear Teachers,
“The Greening of the American Classroom” our next MCLA three graduate credit online course starts Saturday March 19. There are seven new Spring 2022 courses (below) on the schedule. Of course, you may register for any of them beginning after the listed starting date. We hope you will be able to integrate our 3 credit courses into your schedule to allow your salary to better reflect your considerable efforts. We will keep the Summer and Fall 2021 Schedule (below) open as well.
Our MCLA (Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts) online courses are presented to mirror our in-class experience driven sessions. Of course, instead of physically visiting museums and local attractions we will visit two regionally appropriate venues, The Bronx Botanical Gardens, NYC and The Stamford Bartlett Arboretum, CT virtually. Our objectives will be experienced through online research. The courses are designed to be completed in five days but there is no strict deadline.
If you are not familiar with our program, Massachusetts College (MCLA) employs “distance learning” a program utilizing museums and attractions locally. These three credit courses for graduates will be presented now online with no classroom sessions and no offsite visits. Throughout the year we offer MCLA three credit courses for graduates twenty times; it is possible to earn 60 credits in a calendar year. Hundreds of teachers have earned MCLA credits that have allowed them to quickly raise their salaries.
For more information, all course flyers and registration go to www.StuUedu.com or you may register with me directly. The full 2022 Schedule may be found here too. Please follow us at www.Facebook.com/StuUedu and www.Twitter.com/StuUedu. If there are any questions, please let me know.
I hope you will join us.
My best,
Stu
