The Lead by Learning Certificate Program
The Lead by Learning Certificate Program is available for educators who participate in our District, Education Service Agency, and School partnerships. Some partnerships may choose to pre-pay for their educators in advance others allow their individual teachers or leaders to enroll in the program individually.
Are you a member of a school-partnership that pre-paid for your Certificate? Confirm registration HERE.
The program guides learners through three modules plus a Module 0, which launches educators’ learning journeys with a single journal prompt designed to deepen self-awareness.
- Module 0: Reflecting on Self
- Module 1: Clarifying Purpose
- Module 2: Refining Practices
- Module 3: Understanding Impact
Each module includes a framing overview video and includes two 1-hour Connects. Connects are learning spaces where participants can access thought partnership across the Lead by Learning network. Modules are published throughout the year with completion deadlines. Participants access learning experiences and content through our online learning management system and use this system to turn in the program’s required reflections. The program also includes an asynchronous discussion space where learners can start and respond to discussion topics.
