This course is designed to be equivalent in rigor to a graduate-level course offered at a Florida college. Upon successful completion, you will earn 60 in-service credits—equal to the 3 college credits you would receive if you were enrolled in a course on a college campus. I will be evaluating your work at a graduate-course standard. Because these courses are certified by the State of Florida, the quality of instruction and the level of work submitted must consistently reflect that standard in order to maintain state certification.
