Teaching & Learning Certificate
T&L Certificate Application | T&L Certificate Program
The Alpha Kappa Delta Teaching & Learning Certificate is one of a number of opportunities offered by AKD for professional development — for graduate students looking to get a start on their teaching skills and faculty at all levels who want to improve their classroom teaching.
Pursuing the certificates is also a great way to plan your conference attendance and network with highly motivated colleagues who are committed to your success and the continued vibrancy of the organization and discipline as a whole. Since most of the conferences in 2020-21 will likely be virtual, you can attend multiple meetings without constraints of funding or time for travel.
