AND YOUR GIVING THOSE SAME SKILLS TO YOUR STUDENTS.
Originally offered as an in-person retreat, Teach Like Their Lives Depend On It has evolved. It is now possible to receive your certification fully online. The online program is offered in 4 at-your-own-pace courses with the 5ht and final course offered online and as a once-a-year in-person retreat.
The four courses build on one another, progressing you from introduction of topics and content to novice, intermediate, and advanced tools and experiences. All the courses include bi-monthly open office hours so you can engage in live question/answer, deeper conversation, and even colleagial learning. Additionally, there are downloadable worksheets, interactive video, and video uploading of your learning. Every step of the way, you are encouraged to self-reflect on what you're experiencing and provided formative assessments to ensure you are capturing what is intended as important content.
At the end of each of the four courses, there is a Knowledge Check that requires an 80% score to receive your certificate of completion for that course. Your earned certificate is you ticket into the next level course.
The Final Course (number 5) is a 1:1 learning opportunity where Leah will mentor and guide, supporting your full integration of the content into practice. While you will have uploaded a video or two in the previous four courses, this course requires uploaded videos for the purpose of coaching. All evaluations and feedback are based on a shared rubric. Repeating content until you get it right is the goal.
The outcome? Your official Extraordinary Educator Certification. You receive not only a formal certification but also a virtual certification to include in your email signature, social media, job applications, and more.
