Specialized Additional Certificates
Specialized Additional Certificates (SACs) are designed for working teachers and other professionals who already hold a master's degree and want to expand their qualifications or become certified in a specialized area. In the current job market, it is crucial for teachers to have both deeper and broader skills to be more effective and successful in an increasingly diverse classroom.
Our advanced certificate programs are designed to enhance your professional skills so that you can stand out further — earning salary increases, making yourself more marketable, attractive to hire, and ultimately supporting you in becoming the teacher leader you want to be.
