The application window is now closed and will reopen again this fall. 

The UTeach PD Blended Learning Certification Program recognizes and rewards K–12 educators who commit to developing their blended learning skills by advancing through the various UTeach PD courses. As participants complete courses, they move through three levels of recognition—Certified, Expert, and Distinguished—earning certificates, exclusive opportunities to collaborate with UTeach PD, and limited-edition swag. To join, educators must have completed at least four UTeach PD courses. 

Stay tuned for the next application cycle, reopening this fall.
