Teaching Academy Certificate
The program consists of four core modules (blended format) and two elective modules. Each core module takes one week and consists of 10-contact hours of instruction that includes a faculty-led 60-minute group discussion of the material following each module. To receive a CSU certificate in higher education teaching, participants must complete work for all core modules, attend the four discussion sessions, complete two elective modules, and submit a learning portfolio. The program is designed to complete in six weeks.

Learning Portfolio
The student portfolio is a collection of work associated with standards participants learn throughout the six weeks.
