Certify Teacher: A Two-Way Platform
for Teacher Candidates and EPP Faculty

Certify Teacher is a dynamic, two-way platform designed to serve both teacher candidates and EPP faculty. Moving beyond traditional one-sided solutions, it fosters meaningful collaboration through an intuitive dashboard known as the Control Panel. This dashboard helps faculty assess and track candidates' readiness for certification testing. The best part? This powerful monitoring tool is available to EPP programs at no cost.

Key Features of the Control Panel

The Control Panel dashboard gives faculty a centralized, intuitive view to assess and track where candidates stand relative to certification testing requirements.

Assess Readiness at a Glance

Instantly view any candidate's progress, including practice scores, identified areas for improvement, and study time, to better assess readiness for the official exam.

Guide Practice Test Usage

Set the dashboard to block candidates from taking one full-length practice test after another, having the system direct them instead to complete targeted assignments that address their areas of weakness before attempting more tests.

Identify Competency Trends

Gain clear insights with easy-to-read graphs showing which competencies your candidates struggle with most, and which ones they perform well on, allowing for focused instructional support.

Raise the Bar for Performance

In the dashboard, set practice test passing scores above the state's official minimum to encourage stronger effort and better preparation of your candidates before attempting the real certification exam.

Structure Assignments

Structure additional assignments, directly from the dashboard when necessary, to help a candidate master specific content areas where they need improvement, accelerating their path to certification readiness.

Here is the process we followed to
create our video lessons:

1. Certification-focused analysis

We analyzed deeply the exam manual for each certification area and studied the descriptive statements of each competency to understand the depth and application level of knowledge required. Our video lessons are built from this framework.

2. Clear mapping to objectives

The video lessons make it easier for you to map competencies to course objectives. Each video lesson averages 2.5 minutes in length.

3. Key knowledge and skills

Each video lesson addresses key Knowledge/Skill Statements from the manual (e.g., "The beginning teacher knows how to adapt lessons to meet the needs of individual students...")

4. Learning Activities and Assessments

At the end of each video lesson, a 10–15 question quiz assesses the candidate's understanding of the topic discussed.

Cost and integration

Is there a cost to embed Certify Teacher video lessons and quizzes into our EPP Program curriculum?

No. There is no charge to integrate the Certify Teacher video lessons and quizzes into your EPP curriculum. The materials can be embedded as assignments within your course syllabus. The only requirement is that teacher candidates have access to their own platform accounts to engage with the video lessons.

Evidence of Mastery

We collect data on your teacher candidates' performance on our official full-length practice tests and convert it into easy-to-read graphs. These visuals highlight the competencies where candidates struggle most and those where they excel, enabling you to update your curriculum and focus instructional support where it's needed most.
