We have a medical "career and technical education" pathway for students at our school.
I need "hours" of continuing education in order to move on the pay scale.
I petitioned, and my district approved, for me to take Calculus for Biology and Medicine 1 at the local community college. 4 units, which should equate to 60 hours of continuing ed. I need 150 hours within 5 years to move to the next higher pay column.
Yes, I've long since taken and passed Calc 1. What I hope to get out of taking this course is
- a thorough review of Calculus,
- applications to bio and medicine, so I can show our medical CTE students its uses, and
- experience of how I might better conduct an online math class, as Fall 2020 courses will all be online.
Doctors make the worst patients, I hope this teacher doesn't make the worst student!
My registration date/time is next Wednesday. I hope they accept my prerequisite documentation before then so I can register right away!
Update, 6/27/20: I got home from a trip today and hadn't received word that the math department had approved my having met the prerequisite course--which I teach at high school! But I was able to register and pay for my class today anyway. The book hasn't been identified yet, I wonder how much it will cost.

Great job! Congratulations!
