Fresno Pacific University offers professional development courses that teach real tools and techniques you can use immediately in your classroom. FPU continuing education classes help you meet rigorous curriculum requirements and state certification standards while you earn graduate level credit in a convenient online format.
Social emotional learning courses help you learn new tools for educating the whole child, a child who is prepared and available to learn through a healthy social emotional environment. SEL course instructors offer you exciting, new, practical strategies because they understand the classroom environment and the importance of completing PD courses with real, fresh teaching and learning strategies.
The importance of social emotional learning is understood through the lens of whole child education – understanding the positive social emotional development of the young learner and practical tools that can meet the needs of individual students.
Social emotional learning includes important concepts like trauma informed teaching, the importance of cooperative play, a positive sense of self and relationships with others, positive social skills, active, healthy lifestyle, the growth mindset and more.
The FPU instructors incorporate videos, readings, discussions and/or projects into their courses, offering thought-provoking instruction that goes beyond what you are used to from a typical continuing education course.
At Fresno Pacific we are a group of instructional experts who learn from one another. FPU students rely on our expertise and our level of support via tools in the online classroom, emails and even phone calls. Many find our online courses more valuable and interactive than face-to-face PD courses they attended.
