Graduate Certificate in Equitable Practices

Wilmington University

Wilmington University’s 15-credit graduate certificate in Equitable Practices is designed for educators seeking the pedagogical and practical knowledge and skills to implement an inclusive approach to support all learners. When classrooms become healthier learning environments, students, teachers, and school communities flourish. In courses that include School in a Multicultural Society, Classroom Culture and Student Behavior, Education of Diverse Populations and Exceptional Children, and Education for Equity and Social Justice, candidates learn strategies to support prekindergarten to grade 12 (P-12) students by fostering inclusive learning spaces where diversity is valued and respect for others is the norm.

Educators should design virtual learning spaces that include multiple modalities of learning to accommodate different learning styles or a combination of styles. In Engaging All Students in Virtual Learning Environments, candidates learn to leverage proven-effective digital tools to transform the classroom (with inventiveness, personalization, technology use, flexible learning spaces, etc.) in pace with modern learning needs. Educators previously unfamiliar with virtual teaching environments will learn how these environments work and how they can be used to successfully promote active learning for all learners.
