​Online Micro-Credential Modules for Teachers of Mathematics

The 20 teachers in ATMALA worked collaboratively with project faculty over a three-year period to design, build, pilot test, and refine online, asyncrhonous courses - we call them micro-credential modules (MCMs) - to help other teachers of mathematics learn to implement strategies reflective of culturally responsive mathematics teaching (CRMT). Each of the MCMs is designed to take 5-6 weeks and includes time to learn about the strategy, try out the strategy, and receive feedback about one's efforts. The aim of each MCM is to demonstrate proficiency by submitting evidence from your classroom (e.g., video, student work, lesson plans) along with self-assessment using course-specific rubrics. The courses are facilitated by classroom teachers and will lead to one-credit of continuing education units (CEUs) from CSU Fullerton as well as, for those demonstrating proficiency, a digital badge.  The videos below give a quick overview of each MCM.
