We’re entering the last two months of 2020 and already setting our sights on 2021 (aren’t we all, after the year we’ve had?). A crucial part of our 2021 preparation is gearing up for our annual .
What Is CERTIFIED?
CERTIFIED is the only education conference dedicated to exploring the pure potential and promise of certification in the classroom. This conference is an opportunity to listen, learn, and collaborate with a community of educators who share your passion for using certification to improve education and change lives.
Nearly all our CERTIFIED sessions are presented by educators just like you. As we prepare and finalize our content for our sessions, we want to give you a chance to share your expertise. Sharing your new ideas and paths to success is the best way to help Certiport’s educator community.
Should I Apply to Present at CERTIFIED?
At CERTIFIED 2021, it will be more important than ever to share strategies and teaching methods that you have developed over the last few months with the transition to hybrid and online learning environments.
Think about the following questions:
- Am I an innovative teacher who loves to go above and beyond the call of duty?
- Have I implemented changes to help establish a successful hybrid learning environment for my students?
- Do I manage and execute a thriving certification program?
- Is my school forging new paths or setting new standards in excellence that I just can't wait to tell others about?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then we want to hear from you!
