About the course

The Psychology for Teachers concentration is intended for practicing teachers who wish to know more about the psychology of their students and their families or of their teaching, or who wish to take advanced degrees for career advancement. Courses will give them a more thorough grounding in research and application of Educational Psychology than is represented in the undergraduate program, especially for those who chose alternative certification. Most courses could be completed either in the summer or late afternoons/early evenings to accommodate a teacher’s schedule. This concentration is for certified teachers or those wanting to enhance their prospects of getting hired as K-12 teachers. This would also be useful for charter school teachers or alternative certification teachers who want to get a deeper understanding of learning and motivation for teaching.
