ADVANCED CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Reimagining Education for a Racially Just Society Advanced Certificate Program
In just 12 months, educators can earn an Advanced Certificate that will prepare them to lead others to prepare children for a racially and ethnically diverse society. The Advanced Certificate Program coursework (see diagram below) is explicitly designed for those who aspire to become educational leaders on issues of equity, diversity, social justice, and inclusion at the classroom, school or district level. This Advanced Certificate Program prepares educators to become Equity Officers, Diversity and Inclusion Leaders, and overall change agents in reducing racial disparities within our field.
Beginning with a 3-credit, in-person graduate course tied to the Reimagining Education Summer Institute that requires students to be in New York for four days in July, the Advanced Certificate Program is primarily online, enabling students from across the country and the world to participate.
