Our 15-hour course is a 6 week course during which time you may work through the course content and assignments at your own pace. As long as you have finished the course at the end of of the 6 week time period, you will receive a certificate for 15 PDPs/hours.
The 3-credit course is a bit more structured, with weekly assignments due over the course of the 10 weeks. Although there are not specific times that participants must log in, the pace of the course is much more structured with more independent work than a 15-hour course. Participants who complete this course will receive 3 graduate credits.
-
Some of our online courses follow a book study format. Educators read content from a vetted required textbook in addition to reading related articles and resources and completing related assignments. Book study courses differ from our traditional online courses, in which the reading and video content was developed and published by Landmark Outreach.
-
Our 15-hour course is comprised of 6 modules to be completed over the course of 6 weeks. During these 6 weeks, you may work through the content as quickly or slowly as your schedule allows. There are not specific days or times that you must log in to participate, but you will be working through the course with a Landmark faculty member as your instructor, as well as other participants with whom you can process and discuss content and assignments. Some participants utilize the entire 6-week period to complete the course, while others with more free time have completed the course in a much shorter time period.
-
All of our courses are actively facilitated by a Landmark instructor who brings this teaching experience to the course.
-
While the courses were developed specifically for educators, you do not need to be a current teacher with access to students in order to complete the assignments. Although the content is targeted for educators, non-educators have enrolled in our courses to learn more about language-based learning disabilities.

Our registration process is online.
If you are an educator self-registering yourself, you can register directly from our website. If you are an administrator registering one other colleague, you can register directly from our website as well.
If you are an administrator who wants to register multiple educators (two or more), you can still register directly from our website. After you login to your account, look for the text that says “Registering multiple participants? Click here for group registration” to register a small group between two and eight educators. If you do not see this group registration text and want to use it, it is related to a limited number of seats still available in the course.
