ABCTE Offers Cyber Monday Discount for Aspiring Teachers

Washington, D.C. (Vocus) November 19, 2009 -- Cyber Monday takes place the Monday following Black Friday and is known as the biggest online shopping day of the year—and it’s not just about saving big money on product purchases. Thanks to the non-profit American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE), aspiring teachers will have the opportunity to save $150 as they get started toward their new career.

For the second year in a row, ABCTE will offer a Cyber Monday discount (http://www.abcte.org/cyber-monday-discount) on November 30, 2009, providing $150 off for anyone who enrolls in the ABCTE teaching certification program that day. The program normally costs $975 for most certifications.

Founded in 2001, ABCTE is a non-profit organization, dedicated to recruiting, preparing, certifying and supporting dedicated professionals to improve student achievement through quality teaching. The organization offers an innovative, online teacher preparation and certification program for highly knowledgeable individuals who want to change careers and become a teacher (http://www.abcte.org). The program includes over 250 hours of content and pedagogy to ensure teachers are ready to help increase student achievement.

ABCTE has issued over 2,000 certifications to date, with a focus on mid-career professionals. ABCTE offers certification in ten subjects including the high-need areas of math, science and special education. The program is currently accepted by nine states for public schools: Florida, Idaho, Missouri, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Utah. Many charter schools and private schools in other parts of the country also accept ABCTE certification.

“Cyber Monday was a big success for us last year and we thought we’d bring the promotion back again, so more people can take advantage of the discount. This is a great opportunity for those who have been thinking about pursuing a career in teaching. Our program is already very affordable compared to most of the alternatives and this discount makes it even more accessible,” said ABCTE COO Bonnie Zuckerman.
