Leadership Cohort
Minnesota Multilingual Learner Leadership Micro-Credential
Designed to equip district and school leaders with the essential knowledge, skills, and strategies to foster equitable, linguistically and culturally sustaining schools.
Designed for current and aspiring school and district leaders in Minnesota, this six-week micro-credential equips administrators (e.g., directors, principals) and English learner (EL) program coordinators with the knowledge and tools to support multilingual learners in their schools. Participants accepted into a cohort will complete six self-paced online modules, engaging in 2-3 hours of learning per week, including asynchronous discussions. Throughout the course, they will develop a context-specific handbook with resources, procedures, and goals to enhance multilingual learner success in their schools.
