Eastern Illinois University offers a fully online graduate program for K-12 educators who hold a PEL. This program is designed with practicing teachers in mind, delivered in an asynchronous format.
An advantage of the program is the Reading Teacher endorsement option that can be completed simultaneously while earning the degree. For those not seeking the Reading Teacher endorsement, a standard curriculum development option is offered. This is intended for those seeking roles in curriculum and grade-level or department leadership.
The university admits for all terms and offers flexibility in pace and course load within traditional semester scheduling.

Students and teachers alike are so excited to have these valuable additions to their curriculum. These materials are helping students gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and how future genocides can be prevented.

We hope you have a day filled with rest, gratitude, and time with loved ones. We are so grateful for the amazing educators, administrators, and school support staff in Vermilion County!

Over the past few months, we have been hosting our annual shoe drive, spearheaded by Tricia Keith! This year, we have received over 145 pairs of shoes, as well as over $11,000 in monetary donations. These donations will be put towards meeting the needs of those in our community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who supported this effort!
We would also like to highlight all the work that goes into organizing the drive. Tricia — thank you for all the work, dedication, and heart you put into developing this mission. You are truly making a difference in Vermilion County!
Before October comes to an end, we would like to recognize our Vermilion County principals!
Thank you for all the late nights, early mornings, and hours in between that you put into bettering our schools. Your passion makes a lasting impact not only on individual students but on the community as a whole.
🎉Over the past few days, members of our truancy team have attended the 113th IATDP 113th Annual Conference in Memphis, Tennessee!🎉
The IATDP aims to reduce truancy rates and the number of students who choose to drop out of school by connecting truancy professionals to share information, emerging practices, and intervention strategies. Our staff has had the opportunity to hear from various keynote speakers, network with others in the field, and walk away with new ideas and a refreshed sense of purpose.
Thank you to Amy, Heidi, and Tricia for all the work you do to support the youth of Vermilion County. Your passion and dedication do not go unnoticed!

Thank you to Representative Schweizer for recognizing the hard work of Vermilion County athletes and for all you do for the state of Illinois!
🧳✈️The end of a journey is simply the beginning of a new path.✈️🧳
Last Friday, educators of Vermilion County had the opportunity to attend our travel-themed Teachers' Institute!
They heard from speakers Gerry Brooks and Matt Sherrill and participated in a hands-on product showcase from Teq. These three journeys showed educators the importance of building school culture, learning about emerging technologies, and harnessing the power of educational tools in the classroom.
We want to thank our speakers, vendors, and sponsors for making this event possible. We'd also like to thank all of our teachers; you showed up, dressed the part, and brought the energy!
We will see you next week!
This team has made Vermilion County incredibly proud with their hard-fought, undefeated 25-0 season.
What a perfect ending to a perfect season! 🥎🎉
