<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to share information about the fully online teacher development opportunities that are available from Ohio University’s Patton College of Education.
<b>It’s not too late to start this fall but time is running out: The application deadline for most programs is August 1 and classes begin August 24.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ohio University offers many courses for continuing education credit and several graduate endorsement, certificate, and degree programs that are fully online. Those who are interested in starting a graduate degree can choose from several
programs (the attached flyer highlights fully online master’s degree programs). Those who need continuing education credits can apply as a nondegree graduate student. Our caring faculty strive to make the education process as flexible as possible to meet the
needs of our online students, many of whom are working professionals. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A list of available options and website links follows (program names in bold are accepting applications for this fall):<o:p></o:p></p>
