Data-Driven Decision-Making for Continuous Educational Improvement Graduate Certificate


Banner Code:  E1-CERG-DDDM

College: College of Education and Human Development  
Department: Graduate School of Education  

This 12-credit online certificate prepares teachers, building-level and district-level leaders to create, analyze and interpret a variety of student performance assessments in order to improve instruction and student learning. The four carefully sequenced courses for the certificate focus on developing meaningful teacher-created and classroom-based student assessments, interpreting both informal and formal assessment data, and using those data in making curricular decisions. Practicing teachers and other school leaders have the opportunity to apply assessment and decision-making skills to their own classrooms or schools. Credits earned for the certificate may be applied toward the master of science degree in educational psychology.

The graduate certificate in data-driven decision-making for continuous educational improvement may only be pursued on a part-time basis.
