Graduate Credit

The Leventhal Map & Education Center (LMEC) always provides an option for continuing education units (in Massachusetts referred to as PDPs, Professional Development Points). LMEC also offers the option to obtain graduate credits through Westfield State University at a low, additional cost. This workshop qualifies as a 2-credit course.

For non-Massachusetts teachers, LMEC will provide a certificate stating completion of the course and the number of contact hours for teachers to take home. For Massachusetts teachers, LMEC can provide official PDPs as it is a certified provider.
