Elementary Literacy Micro-Credential

Enrollment Application
Created in partnership with the Florida Department of Education and the Division of Early Learning, the UF Lastinger Center for Learning’s Literacy Micro-Credentials are available at no cost to Florida instructional personnel in an effort to create accessible and on-demand reading professional learning. They give instructional personnel an opportunity to work at their own pace while implementing new instructional strategies in real-time and receiving individualized feedback and one-on-one support from an assessor.

Please be aware, as of July 2024, learners may only receive a stipend for one Literacy Micro-Credential. Learners who complete multiple Literacy Micro-Credentials will NOT receive multiple stipends. For more information please visit our website.
