JENMARC-PRISM has worked closely with ENDICOTT COLLEGE in Beverly, Massachusetts to deliver a series of content-based, on-line courses. Each of these courses has an ED-content area designation within a non-degree graduate course format. The “12 credit rule” to Professional License status is an individual process between each teacher candidate and the DESE. It is NOT endorsed by either ENDICOTT COLLEGE or by JENMARC-PRISM. We strongly recommend that you get prior approval from the DESE before taking these courses toward Professional Status.
