Professional Development for Educators and Leaders

The College of Education and Leadership (COEL) at Cardinal Stritch University will provide Professional Development opportunities for organizations throughout Wisconsin. Districts can access a variety of professional development courses based on their individual district needs. The Principals’ Center offers learning opportunities for school district leaders through six breakfast conversations throughout the year.

 

The College of Education and Leadership  offers micro-credentials to support professional development for area organizations and individuals.  If you are interested in learning more about micro-credentials, fill out the form below, or you may send an email to swep@stritch.edu, or call Pang Xiong at 414-410-4374.

Workshops and Micro-Credentials

Individuals and organizations can access professional development based upon their learning needs in two ways:

1. By participating in one of our scheduled micro-credential offerings in Summer 2019

2. By collaborating with us to create and implement a customized micro-credential learning experience for your organization

 

What are Micro-Credentials?

Micro-credentials are digital representations of educational achievements that identify the specific competencies attained, and how the mastery of the competencies or skill acquisition was achieved. In order to earn a micro-credential, there is an expectation that educators will apply content knowledge within their classrooms or educational context and submit artifacts as evidence of application of content knowledge to demonstrate mastery of specific knowledge and skills.
