Many of us language teachers consider getting a Master's, PhD, or graduate certificate part-time to be essential to our advancement, both in our careers and in our personal development. However, there are a number of concerns when considering such programs, like: what are the time and financial
commitments, or will benefits outweigh the costs?

The panelists in this event, all current continuing education from both distance and traditional programs, will share and compare their experiences in a moderated discussion. All attendees will be welcome to share their questions and concerns.

So, if you're considering different continuing education programs, or you're in one and would like to meet and find out how others deal with similar issues as yours, you should definitely come to this first-of-its-kind event. Materials from the different programs represented will also be available.
