About Us

At For Teachers By Teachers, we believe that professional development should be meaningful, manageable, and built for real educators. That’s why we’ve created flexible, research-based, and inspiring online courses that help PreK–12 teachers sharpen their skills and advance their careers — on their terms.

Whether you’re renewing your license, earning graduate-level PD credits, or pursuing salary advancement, FTBT courses make it easy, empowering, and efficient. We warmly welcome teachers nationwide — no matter where you live or teach, you’re invited to join us!

Our Courses Proudly Support:

  • Pennsylvania Act 48 Credit: As a PDE-approved provider (AUN #300000925), we offer Act 48 hours and university credit options pre-approved for PA educators.
  • Hawai‘i DOE Credit: When available, we partner with Learnsoft (formerly PDE3) to offer Learnsoft-issued PD credits through select courses — fully eligible for HIDOE teacher reclassification. When Learnsoft courses are not available, HIDOE recognizes graduate-level credits earned through our UMass Global and CSU Pueblo partnerships as “Academic Credits,” which also apply toward reclassification. You can click here to explore our current options for Hawai‘i State DOE teachers.
  • NYC DOE (ASPDP): Our ASPDP courses meet NYC DOE requirements for P Credits, A+ Credits, and CTLE hours for license renewal and salary differential pathways.
  • Oregon PDUs: Our courses meet Oregon’s TSPC PDU requirements for active license renewal. Certificates of completion and/or university transcripts that your school, district, or ESD can use to verify PDUs on your PEER Form are provided. If you’re not employed by a verifying district, we guide you through submitting your certificates to a participating ESD. Many Oregon districts also count PDUs toward salary advancement — check your local policy to confirm.
  • Nationwide Graduate-Level Credit: Through university partnerships with UMass Global and Colorado State University Pueblo, we offer graduate-level credit options that support salary advancement and licensure renewal in most states. Please check with your state or district to confirm acceptance for your specific licensure or salary advancement pathway.

We serve educators across Pennsylvania, Hawai‘i, New York City, Oregon, and nationwide.
