The School Culture Advocate Certification recognizes educators who excel at research-driven best practices for building a positive school climate and culture. Completing this continuing education coursework provides educators with the necessary tools to create welcoming spaces for underrepresented populations, engage students in civic dialogue, and ensure that all students feel safe and supported in school. Graduates are equipped to lead purposeful professional development, form effective partnerships with community stakeholders, and transform the culture of their district to prepare all students for their next steps.
The completion of the CSCA program is a huge achievement, and we commend our teachers’ commitment and are proud to announce our inaugural class of Certified School Culture Advocates!
