Program Description

Whether you're an aspiring principal, a seasoned administrator, or somewhere in between, this course will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead your school effectively in today's dynamic educational landscape.

Credentials: 15 CECH or 1 Graduate Credit

After completing this course, you can obtain 15 CECH or 1 graduate credit. Graduate credit costs an additional small charge to the university for both members and non-members. CECH/CEUs are free of charge and can be obtained instantly upon completing all requirements. More information can be found in the FAQ at the top of this page.

Certificate of Completion

All participants who complete the program are automatically awarded a certificate of completion. This does not affect CECH/CEUs or graduate credit. These certificates of completion may be used by districts, schools, and organizations as proof of completion for required training. These certificates may also be displayed on LinkedIn or a personal portfolio. To download a certificate for this course, follow the steps from the Canvas Community.

CECH/CEU Certificate

You cannot obtain continuing education contact hours (CECH) or continuing education units (CEU) AND graduate/college credit for the same time/experience. As not all participants will seek a CECH/CEU certificate, these are not set by default for each course within this program. Instructions on obtaining CECH/CEU certificates are available within each course in this program. 

CECH/CEU vs Credit?

Credit is the only option not automatically awarded within our system. While both completion certificates and CECH/CEU certificates can be obtained by the participant without any assistance, credit requires a few additional steps. Credit WILL NOT appear within your Catalog account. As such, it is recommended that you seek CECH/CEU certificates in place of graduate credit if you need it soon. Additionally, CECH/CEU certificates are free while graduate credit may require an additional payment to the university.

Graduate/College Credit

Graduate credit is offered for select professional development courses or events and can be requested within six (6) months of completion. To pursue graduate credit, you will need to enroll in the corresponding listing at the University of Sioux Falls, our partner entity. As noted in the description for this course when enrolling, graduate credit does require an additional fee. This fee is paid online when registering for the offering.
