I thought this was a great way for teachers to kill two birds with one stone," said Otter, a teacher himself. Actually let me restate that in more politically correct terms: marrying a book about teacher finances with professional development credit is a great way for educators to multi-task."

We think this book and what we do is a great match," said Tod Whitman, President and CEO of 24/7 Educational Services. We can offer teachers a convenient, affordable way to earn professional development credit while they learn about critical financial issues. In fact, in addition to years in education, retirement benefits are often based on how many professional development hours or credits one's earned during that time."

Educators can earn up to 15 hours or one-credit for the course, Teach and Retire by completing a series of activities, many of which are web-based and allows the educator to see and experience for themselves different models and options. Credit is available through Seattle University.
