What can I expect when I take a Heinemann Self-Paced Course?
Heinemann Professional Development offers online, full-length courses, mini-courses, and single-session courses. Most full-length courses are between six and eight sessions long and each session takes about an hour to complete.
Throughout Self-Paced Courses, participants watch videos of the presenting author teaching in a classroom, they do short readings, and are invited to participate in different activities such as analyzing student work, reflecting on their own classroom practices, and studying teaching techniques. Within the online course there are places where participants are asked to stop and reflect in writing, and they can view responses from other people who have taken the course before them. Think of this like an archive of an online chat room full of fellow professional learners.
Videos and other assets that are contained within each course can be viewed at any time and the course can be repeated up to one year after purchase.

How do I receive Self-Paced Course credit?
Graduate Credit: You can earn graduate credit by taking a full-length course. We currently have graduate credit partnerships with University of Massachusetts Global and Antioch University.
Please note:
- Mini-courses and single-session courses are not eligible for graduate credit.
- We strongly recommend checking with your school district to ensure that the credit from your chosen university will be accepted before you enroll. Students intending to transfer credit to another university are also advised to obtain approval from their advisor or the registrar before enrolling.
- Enrolling for graduate credit always requires completing a separate registration application directly from the university.
- Fees for graduate credit must be paid separately to the university.
- Registration for credit must be completed after course purchase and may be completed as late as 30 days after course completion, depending on the university.
How many Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) are available per Course?
The number of contact hours/CEUs available for a Self-Paced Course is dependent on the length of the course. Full-length courses are equivalent to 30 contact hours, or 3 CEUs. For our mini-courses, please read the course details and purchasing information for the course you are interested in to check the number of CEUs that will be awarded.
On completion of your course and all the session exercises, you will have an opportunity to save and print a CEU certificate. The link to print the certificate will be available on the last page of the course.
