Center for Educational Media is happy to announce the launch of CEMOnline, an opportunity for educators to earn virtual certificates through our online library of professional development videos produced by CEM. This library includes recordings of professional development conference sessions from our signature program, the PK-12 Collaborative, offering specialized training for teachers of English Learners, School Counselors, and Special Education Teachers. However, educators with all licensure endorsements can benefit from the content in these videos, and we welcome everyone to participate. A certificate will be generated upon completion of the video and can be presented to school districts for their approval.

We want to thank:

-The Tennessee educators - teachers, administrators, and district leaders presenting in our videos, who were nominated by their peers and who have thoughtfully shared their expertise for others’ professional growth.
-The Tennessee Department of Education and members of TNTESOL, TSCA, and TN-CEC, the professional organizations that presented in the PK-12 Collaborative.
-And special thanks go to CEM’s Technical Systems team for their efforts in creating this new platform for educators to earn online certificates for completion of professional development training.

We invite you to participate in CEMOnline, and spread the word! Be sure to give us plenty of feedback on the feedback form to help us improve CEMOnline and make it your first choice in virtual professional development!
