Micro Credential: Meeting All Academic Needs

The PA Principals Association Micro-Credential Courses

Meeting All Academic Needs

We have partnered with Illinois Principals Association to offer this totally online micro-credential for Act 45 hours.  Get the hours you need by not leaving your office!   You can start the course and complete it at your own pace.

What is a micro-credential?  Think of it like earning scout badges.  Many educators are earning micro-credentials and adding them to their resumes to indicate strengths in particular areas.

We have a series of micro-credentials that are now available for school leaders.  In order to understand what is involved in the course, we encourage you to first watch the micro-credential video on our website before registering for any micro-credential.

Earn 30 PIL Hours OR Act 48 Hours!

$350.00 per person  - Payment Must Be Received prior to beginning the course.  No refunds can be made once course is started.

Registration Process:

• 1.      Register for one or more Microcredentials using the course specific link.
• 2.      Enter all requested information, including a valid payment method.
• 3.      Once complete, your information will be shared with our Director of Professional Development, Dr. Beth Haldeman.  She will reach out to you to schedule a short, virtual orientation session, prior to the start of your Microcredential.
• 4.      Following orientation, your registration will be forward to the Illinois Principal Association and ELN, our vendors and assessors for each of the Microcredentials.  They will be in touch with you regarding your login credentials and other information necessary to complete your Microcredential. 

Registration is ongoing.
