Purpose of the Ed100 Graduate Certificate
The certificate is designed to:
- Celebrate Completion: Recognize participants' achievement in gaining a comprehensive understanding of how California's education system works.
- Encourage Leadership: Inspire participants to apply their knowledge in roles such as school site council members, PTA leaders, school board candidates, or other education advocacy positions.
- Promote Education Advocacy: Equip graduates with the tools and knowledge to influence thoughtful decision-making centered on the needs of children.
- Build community: Ed100 can be used individually, but it’s even more powerful when used as a study guide for a group.
- Support higher education: Future teachers need to understand the system they work in. Ed100 explains it, from early education to teacher pensions.
