PARTNERSHIPS
With roots in Minnesota, Project Momentum has long prioritized meeting the needs of educators in the state. Our professional learning offerings are designed with Minnesota educators in mind and incorporate localized content such as Minnesota-specific data, policies, and statutes — alongside globally recognized best practices for supporting multilingual learners.
Our courses align with selected Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) License Renewal Requirements (see chart below). In cooperation with PELSB, Project Momentum also offers a licensure pathway that enables currently licensed Minnesota educators to earn an additional license in ESL. We also provide guidance and support for educators pursuing licensure through the portfolio process.
