Staff development certificate program

Changing societal and technological cultures, combined with an increasingly diverse school-aged population, have resulted in escalating learning demands. There must be a shift in individual and organizational development models so that opportunities for learning and reflection are continuous in today’s schools for teachers, non-certified personnel, and administrators.

The certificate program in staff development is designed to prepare leaders in designing, implementing, and evaluating learning opportunities for preK-12 educators and related staff.

This 12- to 15-credit graduate-level program offers professional development opportunities for teachers, administrators, and others involved in school improvement initiatives. Throughout the program, students are required to reflect on their learning, make explicit connections between theory and practice, and design staff development processes and materials for use in their own work contexts.
