This 13-14-credit Microcredential is geared to supporting in-service teachers with completing coursework toward their Supplemental Certification in Earth Science. Teachers will be able to earn a Microcredential while completing coursework they would otherwise piece together from multiple institutions. In-service teachers have five years to continue to accumulate 30 credit hours to become permanently certified. The coursework proposed here will cover a significant portion of the Earth Science competencies designated by the New York State Education Department. This is also an attractive option for current or potential MCC students interested in pursuing careers teaching Earth Science.
