Welcome Educators!
Your Wellness Matters!
Here, you’ll find self-paced, online courses designed to support your well-being and help you build a classroom culture where wellness leads to achievement and success. These aren’t just any professional development courses—they’re created for educators, by an educator who truly understands the journey.
​
These courses were developed from the heart of TEDx speaker, national presenter, and teacher wellness advocate Chanelle R. Walker, M.Ed. After spending 10 years in the classroom, Chanelle saw a gap in professional development. There was training on instruction, technology, and methodology—but nothing focused on preventing burnout, prioritizing wellness, and sustaining the passion for teaching. That’s when she began advocating, speaking nationally, and creating courses that educators can use to renew their licenses and even advance their salaries.
​
Through a partnership with the University of the Pacific – Benerd College, these are graduate-level courses for 3 PDUs which is 45 hours, and upon successful completion, you will receive an unofficial transcript from the university mailed to the address you used for registration. Official transcripts can be ordered here: University of the Pacific Transcript Request | Parchment.
​​​​​​​​
✨ Now is the time to invest in YOU. Explore our courses, reclaim your wellness and the success of your students, and continue making a difference—without sacrificing yourself in the process.
​
Welcome to a space where your well-being comes first. 💛
​
Note: While the credits earned in these courses may be eligible for salary advancement or state licensing requirements, we cannot guarantee that they will be accepted by all state licensing boards or school districts. We recommend that individuals check with the relevant agencies to confirm whether these credits will count before registering.
