After applying in the fall, schools that meet the Credential Criteria are invited to join the Credential Cohort.
Renew an Existing Credential
Celebrate your community’s genius.
“It was such a great experience for our team to engage in this process. It gave us an opportunity to not only showcase what we do but reflect and take pride in it. It also created space to think about the next steps we will dive deeper into during our end-of-year meeting.”
Harness the power of the Credentialed School Community.
Deepen your impact in Three Dimensions.
Schools seeking to renew their Credential will host a three-hour Renewal Presentation to share your story of impact in Three Dimensions
What do I need to know about the Renewal Presentation?
The purpose of the Credential Presentation is to gain an authentic understanding of the school’s journey as a credentialed school, current context, and next steps in continuous improvement.
Allow 2-3 hours for presentations (in-person or virtual)
EL Education will collaboratively schedule the presentations with the school between January and May 2024
EL Education will provide a suggested agenda in order to focus on implementation and impact of the EL model
EL Education will provide written affirming and constructive feedback within three weeks of the presentation
Note that renewal presentation materials from 2023 did not include Focus Groups, as this requirement was newly introduced in 2024.
Refer to the Renewal Presentation Guidance document for specific details on the new focus group requirement in 2024.
What is the Timeline for Renewal?
Who should Apply to Renew?
All schools that have been Credentialed for three years or more are eligible to apply to renew their Credential. The Credential expires after five years. Schools that earned their last Credential in 2019 or earlier should plan to apply this cycle.
If you Credential expires in 2024 or earlier, you must be in communication with the Credential team about your school’s anticipated renewal timeline.
