Online Courses Flexibly designed for personalized goal-setting and busy schedules.

Level Up Your

Learner-Centered Practice

Our online courses offer educators the opportunity to dive deep into learner-centered practices—on their own timeline and at their own pace.

Designed to connect new learning to current practices, each course includes videos, examples, resources, tools and activities for educators to build expertise and implement new strategies. Each course culminates in a performance task that supports educators in applying the courses’ competencies in their context. 

The courses are built on Learner-Centered Collaborative’s Learning Model, showcasing how to design a learner-centered community and create authentic, personalized, competency-based learning experiences in the classroom. We also offer two book study courses for educators and leaders.
