Welcome to World Language PD
World Language PD is proud to offer fully online Graduate Level courses and Professional Development Hours (PDs) to teachers and college instructors through our fully accredited partners, Seattle University, Northwest Nazarene University, University of Mary, Southern Utah University, and Adams State University. We offer graduate courses in English, Spanish, German, and French on cultural studies, World Language pedagogy, and individualized courses for your needs. Most courses last only 6 weeks. Upon completion of a graduate course, you may request an official transcript from the university which will list the course name, its designation at the graduate level, and your course grade. Check out our current offerings by selecting Graduate Courses. 

Renew your Teaching License

Advancement on the Salary Schedule
Check with your state's licensing board to see if graduate level courses issued by an accredited institution count toward your professional development needs, license requirements, recertification, or endorsements. You can also earn a PD completion certificate through the Illinois State Board of Education.

Enhanced Instructional Skills

World Language PD develops courses in alignment with national standards developed by leading educational organizations. Our courses will provide you with a fresh outlook on teaching. 
Does your school offer advancement on the salary schedule for completing graduate credits? Some schools offer teachers a lane change for reaching the ​Master's +30 designation. Check with your district.

Meet Minimum Qualifications to be a College Instructor

Many colleges and universities now require that instructors, including dual credit teachers, hold a master's degree in the subject taught or a master's degree plus 18 graduate credits in a relevant field. Have a master's degree in education but not in Spanish or French? Check to see if our graduate courses meet your needs!
I was nervous to go back to school, but World Language PD turned it into a great experience for me. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient. I plan on taking more classes in the future to renew my license. Thanks!
