Become the USATestprep/Progress Learning expert at your school! Our teacher certification program provides an opportunity for all educators to better understand the full range of features available within the Progress Learning platform. With three flexible options, we’ve made it easy for you to unlock the full potential of your subscription.
This option is great for educators who want to go at their own pace, and in their own time.
To begin, select the Self-Paced Training and Certification category from the Help Center. You have two types of certifications based on your role.
Level 1 - USATestprep Certified Teacher
This is recommended for Teachers and instructional/Academic Coaches who manage classes, assessments, and other features within the Progress platform.
To earn Level 1 Teacher certification, view the series of four videos - Intro to USATestprep, Assessments, Assignments, Progress Monitoring. Pass the Knowledge Check linked below the last video (80% or better), earn a personalized certificate, and earn a certification badge upon successful completion of the knowledge check. Don’t worry, if you do not pass on the first try, you will be able to retake the checks.
Level 1 - USATestprep Certified Admin
Admins are administrators of your USATestprep accounts. Admins can manage student and teacher accounts and view school-wide data.
This is recommended for Principals, Assistant Principals, Instructional/Academic Coaches, Content Coordinators, Curriculum and Instruction leaders.
To earn Level 1 Admin certification, view the series of five videos - Admin Only, Intro to USATestprep, Assessments, Assignments, and Progress Monitoring. Pass the Knowledge Check linked below the last video (80% or better), earn a personalized certificate, and earn a certification badge upon successful completion of the knowledge check. Don’t worry, if you do not pass on the first try, you will be able to retake the checks.
This option allows teachers to attend a live, interactive session with our trainers. You’ll be able to ask questions during this session. To complete certification, you’ll complete a short, quiz-style knowledge check. Visit our Training Calendar to sign up!
- For Level 1 teacher certification, register and attend a New User Training session offered weekly.
- For Level 1 Admin certification, register and attend a New User Training session and an Admin session
After the session, the knowledge check will be available on a slide at the end of the session and the link will be shared in a follow-up email. Pass the Knowledge Check (80% or better) to earn a personalized certificate and to earn a certification badge.
Signing up around the time of one of our bi-annual conferences? Attend a session with the “Certification Approved Session” flag sessions during our Fall and/or Winter conferences to get certified. Our next one is August 24th, 2021 - visit our registration page for more information.
Take the knowledge check associated with that session. Earn a personalized certificate and earn a certification badge upon passing each check.
