Continuing Education & Renewals

Renewal of Teacher Certification:

The “perks” of renewal include.…

• con­tin­u­ing education

• main­tain­ing pro­fes­sional cred­i­bil­ity and practices

• pres­ence in “Take a Class” list­ing on the DTP web site: loca­tion, phone, e-mail

• hyper­link to your web site, if you have one

• refer­rals for spe­cial projects in your area from the DTP con­sult­ing office

• Con­stant Con­tact newslet­ter, fea­tur­ing research updates, news for instruc­tors, exer­cise tips

We have recently looked at the activ­ity and posi­tion­ing of the DTP web­site within the inter­net and are pleased to be able to report that the num­bers tell us good things.

The site has a solid and increas­ing vis­i­ta­tion rate — in 2009, there were 20,000 hits a month.

Vis­i­tors spend longer on our site than the inter­net aver­age & often visit Take a Class.
