Project Momentum has partnered with the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to provide an approved program for completing the 45 hours of required professional development related to multilingual learners. Participants who complete the Project Momentum 45 hour PD program will be issued a single certificate to submit with their license renewal application.
This course equips educators with practical strategies to support multilingual learners through culturally responsive teaching, language and literacy development, and inclusive instruction. Participants learn how multilingual learners acquire language, how to create equitable classroom environments, and how to integrate language support into daily instruction across content areas. The course also explores evidence-based literacy practices, use of the WIDA standards, instructional scaffolds, assessment accommodations, and collaborative practices that help multilingual learners access grade-level learning and thrive academically.
This course is a curated learning experience that combines several Project Momentum professional learning courses into one cohesive program designed specifically for Colorado educators.
The course includes:
- Free Project Momentum courses, including those based on the WIDA English Language Development Framework.
- Additional premium Project Momentum professional learning content.
- New Colorado-specific examples, resources, and instructional guidance.
- Revised organization, transitions, and learning activities that create a seamless learning experience rather than a collection of standalone courses.
Course enrollment provides access to this integrated learning experience, including the Colorado-specific content, curated learning pathway, and premium instructional resources.
This is a self-directed learning experience. This course is designed for independent learning. The course includes guidance and resources, and participants are expected to engage with the content and explore concepts on their own. If you are looking for more structured support or guided instruction, you may wish to consider a different learning opportunity.
Individualized support is not provided. This course does not include coaching, facilitation, or personalized assistance. If you find that you would benefit from more direct support or interaction, we encourage you to explore programs or offerings that provide those elements.
Certificates will be issued within two weeks of course completion. If you need your certificate sooner (for example, for an upcoming license renewal deadline), you may request an expedited review and certificate after you complete the course.
