About the Certificates

Each certificate requires several challenges/activities to be completed. These challenges are associated closely with the topics and technologies described and discussed within the PITCH Hub. To address the challenges, you will be asked to demonstrate the integration of the Hub’s information within your own teaching and learning experiences. To complete a certificate, read through the challenge requirements and then complete and submit what is required.  Your submission will be reviewed and either accepted or corrective feedback will be given and you will then be allowed to make upgrades and resubmit your work until final approval has been achieved.

Value of the Certificates for You

Once you have successfully completed a certificate, it will  be graded and awarded to you after you have made payment.  At that point, you can list it within Badgr Backpack, insert it within your resume, LinkedIn, etc. NOTE: The time required to complete each certificate is given within the certificate information. For each successfully completed certificate, you will receive a signed certificate that indicates the number of hours that were required to complete the certificate. Indiana teachers can use those hours toward their Personal Growth Plan (PGP).

Cost

Other than your time, there is cost for you to pay in order for your submissions to be graded and for your certificates to be awarded.
