Another way for teachers to take professional development/continuing education courses is what we call "distance learning" by watching DVD's of lessons. Marygrove is offering video graduate-level courses in partnership with Canter Laureate. The distance-learning model is based on an easy-to-use course study guide, informative DVD’s, readings from textbooks and journals, collaboration with colleagues, application of skills, written assignments, and submission of coursework
