PLS 3rd Learning classes provide on-site and online classes that earn three hours of graduate credit that can be applied to teacher recertification, movement on the salary scale, professional development requirements, or select Master’s degrees.

Every PLS course is aligned to the components in Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching, to encourage educators to analyze, assess, and improve their professional practices. http://plsclasses.com/browse-enroll/
