Professional Development for Educators
Stritch is committed to taking this journey with you.
In keeping with the mission of Cardinal Stritch University, the College of Graduate and Professional Studies strives to create a stimulating environment for teaching, learning, research and leadership rooted in the Franciscan Values. Designed for those who aspire to learn and lead – but delivered in a way that meets the needs of busy professionals. Stritch is a leader in professional development for educators. Individuals and organizations can access professional development based upon their learning needs by:
- participating in one of our scheduled micro-credential offerings, or
- collaborating with us to create and implement a customized micro-credential learning experience for your organization.
Enhancing your skills through 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.
