From June of 2001 until may of 2003, I participated in the Curriculum, Technology, and Education Reform (CTER) program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This graduate program consists of eight four credit hour courses and results in a Master's of Education degree. Over ninety percent of the content is delivered online, with many synchronous sessions, and occasional face-to-face meetings. The program's work is project based and is highly applicable to a teacher's career.

The CTER program aided my professional development as a teacher immensely, and I recommend the program to any interested educators. Below are links to course descriptions of each of the courses I took over the two years in the program. As there are different elective courses, each student's program path will be unique.
