Contract Paid Tuition Course Development

For organizations with specific professional development needs, the College of Education provides customized workshops and degree cohort programs in the northern Illinois region taught by expert faculty. Such customized learning opportunities create a partnering relationship whereby organizational goals are obtained and college credit may be applied toward an accredited degree program.

School District Contract Cohort Development

Our office can coordinate in-house, district-designed and grant-funded endorsement, credential and/or approval cohorts with your school district. Many programs, with the addition of five or six more courses, can become a complete master’s degree. It is a stackable credential approach to meet the needs/interests of the individual and the school district. If your school district does not have enough teachers to fill a cohort, we will work with your neighboring districts to recruit more teachers to make the cohort viable.

Beyond a traditional tuition approach, NIU can contract with your school district, which is more economical. To fund professional development contract cohorts, school districts often use grants (Title I Grants for Reading, Title II Grants for Teacher Professional Development, Title III Grants for English Language Learners, IDEA Grants for Special Education). We will work with districts to help with your planning, budgeting and grant-writing processes so that your district can successfully offer a customized, grant-funded, contract cohort to grow your own talent.

Non-Credit Program Offering Coordination

Professional development non-credit/conference programs provide education professionals the opportunity to attend programs focused on current topics, trends, and methodologies for new and experienced teaching professionals that often provide Professional Development Hours (PDH). Customized professional development workshops, and consultations are available.

Off-Campus Credit Program Coordination

Off-campus credit courses and off-campus degree programs offered by the College of Education are available at NIU’s Hoffman Estates, Naperville and Rockford Centers, as well as online, or delivered at the employer’s locations.
