Professional Educator Diploma Program (PED)

About Professional Educator Diploma (PED)

We seek those who aim to improve themselves and their schools or organizations through studies focused on educational leadership, early learner education, and adolescent learner education. Diversity is the primary strength of our PED program. The PED program is designed for a wide range of current and future professionals who are concerned with education in the world today. Whether you are teaching in the classroom, managing educational initiatives, or planning in your school’s boardroom, educational reform issues are the same. The diversity of students in the PED program classroom allows for rich discussion, experience-sharing, and innovative results. Collaboration and information-sharing among current and future education leaders are key to sustained school improvement.
