Found this company last Summer. Really inexpensive and university accredited courses. Alot of teachers in my district use them for professional development and salary enhancement.
Thought I would let the teaching community know.
Thanks, Nick

This volume is a comparative perspective of how teachers address pedagogical issues in the classroom across ethnicities. It is presented from the viewpoint of minority teaching practitioners and those teachers in schools with diverse student populations.
Chapters are based on experiential (point of view) analysis. Topics include, but are not limited to the questions below:
1. How do you connect the (national/state) curriculum to the lived experiences of your students?
2. If you the teacher are the minority, (e.g., a white teacher with predominantly black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. or a racial/ethnic minority teacher with white students) how do you connect with your students? What are your experiences?
3. What are the challenges and opportunities of diversity in the classroom in terms of the way you teach?
4. How do you reconcile or navigate the gap/imbalance between diversity and multicultural public discourse from school and classroom practices?
5. Pedagogically, how do you handle issues of educating minority students in special education, alternative schools, and behavioral management programs?
This is a great opportunity for teachers to have their voices heard through the lens of personal experience. We want your stories, concerns, and solutions. Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words, plus a brief biography (100 words max) by August 9, 2011 to Nicole Johnson, Ph.D., [email removed].

I am thinking of getting a master's degree in speech pathology. My current background is elementary teacher (gifted ed and English Language Development) but am a stay at home mom of two toddlers. I took a semester of Speech Pathology (SP) classes in college, but decided at the last minute to do teaching instead. After teaching for 5 years, I am regretting that decision. While I enjoyed teaching, I'd like to do SP. I find it fascinating, and both my husband and son have dealt with speech issues. I'd like to better understand their conditions and treatment options, as well as make a career out of it.
I also am a bit fed up with the pressures of public school tecahers. Now that I am a mom, I'd like more time with my kids. When I was teaching, I'd work all day, then come home and spend most of the evening grading papers and doing lesson plans, or calling parents. I have shadowed a speech pathologist in an elementary school setting, and while I am aware of the tedious IEPs, meetings, etc, I think I would still have more time with my kids and have vacations off with them as well. I am looking at an online MA program in SP. This would mean I could stay home still with the kids and not have to put them in day care while I spent time on campus. I would be able to study in the evenings when my husband would come home from work, when the kids were in preschool for a couple of hours each day, and on the weekends while the hubby could take care of the kids. The cost: $60k for an online program, but I would make a ton as a SP ($60-$80k per year).
I am scared of the time commitment with kids. I'm afraid I'm cheating the kids out of time with their mom, and my husband out of time with me, but in the long run, it would be for the best financially and I would have more time with my kids long term. Has anyone gone back to school with young kids? Is it doable-- I have no day care or family to help out other than hubby...
By the way, my kids are 3.5 years and 16 months. I would start start the program next fall (2012) and my kids would be 4.5 years and 2.5 years at that point. The program is 5 years total (part time enrollment)-- 2 years to meet the prerequisites and 3 years of the actual MA.
Thanks,
Mandy
