Process to follow to teach an approve 3 credit continuing professional development (CPD) course at your school in the Archdiocese of Baltimore

  2. Remember that for a 3 credit course there must be 45 hours of work. That does not mean, 45 hours of instruction. Assignment, implementation of ideas etc. can all count.

  6. Survey your audience  to see who is interested.
  7. Survey surrounding schools to see if they would like to join you if you do not have an audience at your school alone.
  8. Class sizes should be manageable. No class should be over 20 participants unless there are two instructors. Small classes are often the best.
