Dear Illinois Teacher,
**PLEASE SHARE THIS NOTE WITH YOUR STAFF AND COLLEAGUES THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM
SPECIAL ED AND OTHER CPDUs or IN-SERVICE CREDIT FOR SALARY INCREASE**
This Summer Semester, Illinois Educators can complete required Special Ed and
other CPDUs online anytime, anywhere.
The Illinois Department of Education has approved Knowledge Delivery Systems to
offer online, self-paced courses that can be used to satisfy Illinois License
Recertification requirements (CPDUs). KDS has recently released a new course,
"Aiding Students with Learning Disabilities," one of three KDS Courses that can
help you meet the requirement for Special Ed CPDUs. (Illinois teachers need
20-50% of their CPDUs to be focused in Special Education courses.)
KDS, selected as the Best Professional Development Solution (2007 CODiE Award
Winner), now offers a total of 9 online courses, including:
- Aiding Students with Learning Disabilities (GREAT FOR SPECIAL ED &
GENERAL ED)
- Differentiated Instruction (GREAT FOR SPECIAL ED & GENERAL ED)
- Teaching Diverse Learners (GREAT FOR SPECIAL ED & GENERAL ED)
- English Language Learners (ELL) / ESL Literacy & Cultural Awareness
- Preparing Students for High-Stakes Tests
- Building Educational Leaders & Strong School Communities
- Coaching & Mentoring to Improve Student Learning
- Classroom Management
- Discovery-Based Mathematics (with $69 Math Manipulatives Kit)
The price of each course will remain only $199 through June 30, 2007. Sign up
today to reserve your spot on our roster at www.kdsi.org/Illinois
Schools can also purchase directly from KDS by calling 1-800-728-0032.
"SALARY UPGRADES / IN-SERVICE CREDITS" are granted by districts in Illinois,
which set their own policies for Salary Upgrades. Chicago Public School
Teachers earn Lane Credits applied towards the MA+15,30,45 salary steps -- ask
at your district for prior approval towards in-service credits or salary points.
(KDS is IL-Certified CPDU Provider #50911183215058. Illinois Educators have
already signed up for over 1,000 course seats in KDS Online Courses.)

COURSE DETAILS:
All coursework is completely self-paced and on-demand. Access is available from
any computer -- home, school, or library -- and log in at any time of the day.
Each course is an incredibly effective and convenient way to earn CPDU's at
your own pace.
Courses consist of video/audio lectures with corresponding slide presentations
(30 hours of lecture content total). There are no tests or required research
papers, just interactive follow-up questions for your participation.
The timeframe is 3 months per course on a completely self-paced schedule.
(NOTE: Most participants finish much sooner than the deadline.) Sign up for
multiple courses to get an extended schedule (ex. 2 courses over 6 months, 3
courses over 9 months, etc.)
