EXCEL MAKES PROFESSIONAL LEARNING ACCESSIBLE TO TEACHERS WHEREVER THEY ARE LOCATED AND MEETS THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED NEEDS:
- Micro-credentials are competency-based, you work at your own pace and in your own classroom.
- You learn about (and implement) best practices with your existing students.
- Implementation is integrated into what you are already doing, it is not a ‘new’ initiative.
- Participants join a peer network with members from across Rhode Island and New England, creating opportunities to learn with and from other teachers.
- The program is self-paced, flexible, you have lots of support and options.
