We are an educational consulting company founded by educators in 1981 to provide high quality, graduate level, continuing education courses to help educators respond to current challenges in education. Taught according to adult learning principles and grounded in current educational research, most courses are highly experiential and interactive, allowing each educator a hands-on, practical approach to learning. All of our instructors are local educators who have their master's or doctorate degree and are esteemed in their field. Please see the schedule for specific class times.
Attendance is required at all class sessions.
Each class offers 3 graduate credits through our academic partnership with Aurora University in Aurora, Illinois. Aurora University is fully accredited through the North Central Association. Courses may be accepted in the Master of Arts in Education degree program at Aurora University. Credit is applicable towards the renewal of your license and is accepted by most school districts for salary advancement. In all Connecting Link courses, participants contract with the instructor for an A, B, or C grade.
