[vc_row height=”small” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_column width=”4/6″]
Bring Quality Professional Development to your District!
Hosting the Google Certification Academy is a tremendous opportunity for districts that have adopted Google Apps for Education or Chromebooks. The GCA is a train-the-trainer model which helps districts build internal technology support by increasing the number of Google Certified Educators within the district.
All Google Certification Academies are locally hosted. As a host, you will be able to bring a high quality professional development event to your school for a fraction of the cost of a traditional event!
Host districts get to pick the date of the academy and will receive a minimum of 3 FREE registrations (additional free registrations will be added based on final enrollment).
