The Be GLAD® (Project GLAD®) program is designed for teachers, educational support professionals, administrators, and those who work with children and adolescents to provide instruction for meeting the myriad challenges in learning the English language.

This Professional Certificate is comprised of three courses designed for the Be GLAD® Educator Certificate. All courses are self-paced with complete flexibility. All courses have a similar structure for ease of use and provides for high implementation rates. Upon successful completion of all three courses, a certificate of completion will be presented by Be GLAD and you’ll be eligible for live webinar supports for discussion and questions.
