Don’t Lose Your Level I Teachers—Support Them in Earning Level II Certification!
Do you have teachers that have not yet earned the 24 post-baccalaureate credits required to apply for level II? Ensure you retain these teachers through a new accelerated program that supports them earning Level II certification—and stacks into a Master’s Degree pathway!
Program Overview
This cost-effective program offers university accredited courses powered by BloomBoard, the leading micro-credential platform in the country. Program coursework is integrated into teachers’ classroom practice so they can complete much of the work on the job!
Educators will begin the program by completing up to three courses (each equal to three credits) through the BloomBoard platform. After successful completion of these courses, participants will select a university partner to complete the program with.
We are currently forming cohorts for a June/July start with the following courses:
- Foundations of Learning Recovery
- Foundations of Attending to Equity

TESTIMONIALS
What Teachers Say About Micro-credentials
The feedback I’ve been getting in the program has been extremely valuable. I love my learning coach. Working through the
micro-credentials, being able to share the artifacts and evidence
of my work, and have a discussion about it is transforming
my teaching.

Earning micro-credentials allows me to set my own pace and apply the learning directly to my practice. It is an authentic learning experience that benefits my students and myself. In being a “learn by doing” kind of person, the content allows me to demonstrate competency within my classroom context.
