Earning Options

Upon successful completion of a professional learning experience, you will earn a certificate of completion, micro-credential, or both, depending on the experience. Select the one that’s best for you!

• Certification of completion and Micro-credential
Both the certificate of completion and micro-credential are issued when a facilitated course is completed successfully. In the facilitated course, you will both learn about the topic and demonstrate your implementation of the strategies learned. An instructor will provide feedback along the way and it must be completed within a scheduled timeframe.

• Micro-credential
This is a great option if you already know the content and would like to demonstrate your skill set. The micro-credential includes the topic in which expertise was demonstrated. By earning micro-credentials, educators can demonstrate their commitment to professional growth and excellence in teaching, which can lead to career advancement opportunities and increased job satisfaction.

• Certificate of completion
These are issued for self-paced courses where you can learn about a new topic or increase your knowledge at your choice of pace and location. The certificate includes the number of hours associated with the learning experience. It is downloadable to add to your portfolio and great for use towards educator recertification.
