The College of Education is proud to offer two new online microcredentials on culturally responsive teaching.
Marlee Bunch, Ed.D.’ 23 EPOL, created the two microcredentials in partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education to support educators’ culturally responsive practice through sustained, reflective learning.
The two microcredentials offered this spring are The Magnitude of Us Learning Series (101) and Unlearning the Hush (102). Both are offered as four required asynchronous modules with an optional fifth module.
Illinois teachers who complete modules one through four will earn 42 professional development hours. Those who complete all five modules (one through five) will earn 50 professional development hours and become eligible for an Illinois State Board of Education microcredential.
Microcredentials provide Illinois educators with a way to demonstrate specialized competencies. Upon completing this series, Illinois educators with a professional education license will be eligible for a permanent notation on their license, indicating to current and future employers that they have completed advanced and focused training in culturally responsive teaching.
