Mastery Learning Certificate

Educators spend more than 1/3 of their time assessing and evaluating student work. Yet, there’s little to no university training on classroom assessment, grading and reporting practices—leaving K-12 educators to figure this out on their own.

Districts across the nation are looking to improve their assessment and grading policies and practices by shifting to standards-, competency- and formative feedback- based initiatives.

At UND, you’ll be part of the only masters-level program in the US that includes a K-12 grading and reporting course in its curriculum.

As a result, this innovative, exclusive certificate equips you with research-based mastery learning and effective grading knowledge and skills. Proudly, our students will be the very first educators in the nation with this distinguished credential!

UND's graduate certificate in Mastery Learning can be earned:

1. As a stand alone certificate by completing the three (3) designated mastery learning courses. 
2. Within our master's in Teaching & Leadership graduate degree program. Meaning, you could earn both a master’s degree and this Mastery Learning graduate certificate all at once inside 30 total credits.
