Why Pursue A New Credential?
Harness the power of the Credentialed School Community.
Celebrate your community’s genius.
“The EL Education credentialing process allowed our school to reaffirm and realign around the Three Dimensions of Student Achievement. It was a process that provided us with an opportunity to receive feedback that not only celebrated the success of the school and our students, but also an expanded opportunity for conversations that encouraged continuous professional growth, reflection, and students’ active participation in their own learning. The credentialing process has refocused our commitment to excellence and our dedication to fostering a conducive learning environment that focuses on real-world learning, character development, and high-quality student work.”
Leverage the Credential to deepen your impact in 3DSA.
“We really valued the feedback from EL Education experts as [the Credential process] was specific to the 3DSAs and authentic to our growth areas as an EL Education school. Staff and students felt seen, heard, and honored throughout the focus groups, student work presentations, and classroom visits. EL staff ‘get us’ and have a unique way of celebrating our efforts and nudging us in the right direction. We didn’t want them to leave after the two-day site visit!”
