SDCOE Leading Edge Certification
for the Online and Blended Teacher
Online and Blended Teacher
Here's what our graduates are saying...
"I can honestly say that this is the best course I have taken in all my courses of study over the past ten years."
“When I began the Leading Edge Certification class, I was interested in participating in a program that would challenge me, hold me to high expectations and make me a better educator. This program has done just that.”
“I absolutely agree that Leading Edge Certification fulfills the professional needs of teachers wishing to expand and transform their teaching practice with new models that incorporate cutting edge technologies. I am a prime example of how an educator with some knowledge of technology can be challenged and stretched to evolve from a "user" of technology to a "creator" of an online product, an online course, that is engaging, and content rich, with 2.0 tools.”
