"I liked that the program was flexible and that I could do it on my own time and do it in less time. It also allows me to become a classroom teacher much quicker. It was exactly what I needed to achieve my goal!"
""I thought I was doing things correctly and maybe I was, but after completing NJCTL's program, I'm doing it better. It's the best professional development I've ever had!""
"I learned so much and with this new certification, schools are constantly reaching out to me. Talk about a career boost!"
"The graduate program was fantastic and the associated teaching materials are invaluable. They not only help my students understand physics but also strengthen their math skills. Through this program, I can help them build confidence and truly grasp the material."
"I am so glad I gave NJCTL a shot. I was very happy with each of the programs. The material was presented in a way I could understand and there was always somebody who would respond quickly if I ever got stuck."
"I didn't realize the true value of the IEP until I took these NJCTL courses. The research-based strategies and practical assignments have been a lifesaver!"
"NJCTL is much less expensive than other options. The 34 credits I earned here cost my school less than 12 credits earned elsewhere, and I'm getting a degree!"
"Because this program was so flexible, I was able to balance studying with teaching, coaching, running my family's fencing club, and even traveling internationally as a referee!"
"I tell new teachers to take advantage of NJCTL. You're not going to find another program like it--especially not for the cost."
""You can't beat the price, and being able to work at my own pace was huge. The professors are also very responsive, even answering emails over the weekend! I always felt heard.""
"NJCTL's Teaching Methods course helped me so much--not just in math, but in my Chinese classes too. I became more observant, more reflective. Now I better understand how students interact and it has really improved my teaching."
"Every NJCTL course gave me something valuable; a new way to look at a concept, better formative assessment questions, or just more confidence in how I teach."
"My child told me, 'Daddy, I'm bored in class. I keep getting the same work.' I told his teacher to try what we are learning in NJCTL's program--group work, more interaction--and later, she called and said it was working. She was happier, and my child was happier."
""I've had such a great experience. I'm going to bring all my people to NJCTL!""
"The first course I took completely changed how I communicate with parents. I used to send emails about behaviors or concerns, but now I've got a much better understanding of how to frame things. That is key for any teacher, not just special ed."
"NJCTL's price is competitive, the instructors genuinely care, and the asynchronous piece is everything!"
""The program is progressive and builds logically. You're not expected to know everything at once so you are not overwhelmed and this helps you believe you can succeed."
""Even though I majored in math, it was a long time ago. This program helped me refresh my subject knowledge and gave me tools to apply it directly in my teaching."I've had such a great experience. I'm going to bring all my people to NJCTL.""
""The feedback from the instructors is thorough, consistent, and really focused on practice. Everyone is so passionate about teaching.”"
"Prior to adopting PSI, I rarely talked to my colleagues about pedagogy, other than my mentor. PSI promotes common planning and pedagogical discussions on a frequent basis, so that we can be the best teachers for our students."
"Students start believing in themselves when they actually start teaching previously taught material to each other."
""“The materials and experiments are awesome. They contain everything you need for your students, so you save planning time and don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You can focus on your students and their individual needs.”"
"The proof is in the results, I think...Not only has the Science Reasoning portion of the ACT significantly increased within Vista Ridge HS; it has outpaced the growth in the composite VRHS scores as well. In 2015, VRHS topped the CO State Science Reasoning score!"
