    Micro-credentials

    ExcEL Leadership Academy offers micro-credentials for teachers seeking professional development in education of EL students.

    ExcEL Leadership Academy

    ExcEL Leadership Academy is a national model. A program created and based on the best practices for serving English language learners. 

    The United States of America is a country built by folks who are from other countries; many of whom are people whose first language is something other than English. Project ExcEL is part of a community effort made up of partner organizations helping families and children obtain the American dream. We have formulated a multi-year program aimed at creating expanded and personalized learning opportunities for students K through 12 who do not speak English as their first language. In ExcEL communities, nonprofit organizations, community colleges, faith-based groups, arts and media centers, libraries, and schools are all working together to help students learning English, as well as their families in acquiring the critical English skills needed for family success.
    Graduate Student Representative Erin Riley-Lepo is joined by Alison L. Bailey, Ed.D., as well as Christine Butler and Heather Brown, two elementary school teachers who collaborate with Dr. Bailey. The group shares their work on Project ExcEL, an OELA/USDoE funded project. The conversation is focused on formative assessment as an important part of equitable assessment practices for English Language Learners.

    The Excel Leadership Academy offers job-embedded, learn-by-doing programs to help PK-12 teachers become more effective educators of multilingual learners in all academic areas.

    Micro-credentials are earned by demonstrating competencies in one specific area at a time. They allow teachers to build skills without ever leaving their classrooms, and to prove their capabilities by sharing evidence from their own teaching practices. Micro-endorsements are groups of micro-credentials representing competencies needed for certification in a given topic.
