SDE Online Courses

• By completing an SDE/Ed2Go online course and developing practical activities based on the course, you have the opportunity to earn one or two graduate level professional development credits from Brandman University.
• Go to Brandman University's web site to view SDE online courses eligible for credit, syllabus and registration information. Please complete your online course through SDE before registering for these credits through Brandman University.
• These credits are professional development units that are not part of a degree program but instead are primarily used for professional advancement (such as salary increment steps and recertification). Students should seek approval of appropriate district or college officials before enrolling in these courses to satisfy any degree, state credential, or local school district requirements. State licensing departments vary regarding their criteria for credit acceptance, and some states may not accept credit from universities that are located outside the state.
• Registrations for credit must be received within 30 days of completing the SDE/Ed2Go online course.
