Attend Sessions

Participants choose and attend Seesaw Connect sessions based on their interests.

Document Participation

As they attend sessions, participants must document their learning by filling out this form. (If you don’t have a Google account, download this fillable PDF form to complete and submit.)

Complete Required Hours

Once participants have documented 12.5 hours of learning, they will submit their completed form through this course to receive their certificate of completion. If you’ve taken any professional development with Seesaw, you will likely already have an account in our Learning Hub. If you’ve never taken professional development with Seesaw, you will need to create a new account.

Enroll with the University of San Diego

After receiving the certificate, participants will enroll in the Seesaw Connect: Building Joyful Classrooms course (Course Code: EDC-X800Y) through the University of San Diego and pay the required fee.

Submit Certificate

Participants must email their certificate of completion to pce-cv@sandiego.edu to initiate the process for their transcript.

Receive Transcript

The University of San Diego will process the submission and mail an official transcript for the graduate-level credit. Please allow 2 weeks processing time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I lose my certificate of completion?

• Log into the Learning Hub

• Click on your name on the top right corner.

• Go to ‘My Account’.

• Click on Certificates on the left side and you should be able to redownload your certificate.

How long does it take to receive the transcript after submission?

Participants can expect to receive their transcripts within 2-3 weeks for addresses in the continental U.S. and 3-4 weeks for international addresses.

Can I expedite the transcript processing if I need it sooner than two weeks? Unfortunately, there isn’t an expedited option at this moment. However, if a participant needs a transcript sent to their district as soon as possible, they can first submit their certificate of completion. This will trigger the initial transcript to be sent out on the next processing day to their address on their USD profile—either Tuesday or Friday, whichever comes first.

If they also need a second, sealed transcript sent to a different location (such as their district), they can use this link to request and pay for an additional transcript for $20.
