Professional development

Demands on preK-12 educators are escalating due to changing societal and technological cultures, combined with an increasingly diverse school population. This certificate program is for experienced educators who are interested in designing, implementing, and evaluating learning opportunities for preK-12 educators and related staff.

Program highlights

Interdisciplinary study: While the program is housed in the Department of Educational Policy and Administration, students can choose elective courses from a variety of departments, including the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs, and the Department of Sociology.

Practical coursework: Students design staff development processes and materials for use in their own work contexts.

Professional development: The program’s length (only 12-15 credits of required coursework) makes it an ideal professional development opportunity for teachers, administrators, and others involved in school improvement initiatives.
