Educators have been asking for a Canvas professional certification program for a long time, and last year, Instructure launched the Canvas Certified Educator Program. This week, you have the opportunity to win a scholarship (1 for HE and 1 for K12) for the whole program (6 courses). 

In light of all that has happened, a 'small change, big impact' idea (thanks  @jared ‌ - still using that) which we wanted to share for all to possibly use if you haven't already.

It takes amazing educators like you to help all of us get through difficult times. 

My Twitter feed has been pretty sour lately with coronavirus this, COVID19 that, and strained learning professionals, eager to help as many people as they can.

On Friday, March 13th, at 4:00 the Governor of the State of Utah announced that all K-12 schools would be immediately closed for two weeks in order to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 within our state. 

I want it to be clear that you are a super-special educator who is providing continuity and stability through innovation. You're making a difference!

In a very short period of time, I have witnessed how you have re-defined the term Champion, and have gone above and beyond helping your colleagues at FIU College of Business as you designed and implemented a 4 step plan to support them and shared it as well so everyone can benefit from it.

Dr. Martha Bowman is my daughter's 8th grade science teacher in the Monroe County Community School Corporation in Bloomington, Indiana.

In the face of disruption and uncertainty, educators are finding ways to provide continuity and stability through innovation. Some are reaching out directly to their students, some are lifting and educating other teachers, some are sharing their brilliance with anyone in the world—and some are doing all of these. If you’re in education, you’ve surely been influenced/inspired by an educator who has gone above and beyond in the current circumstances.

It's so cool to know that I can do things that I've never done before. After 30+ years from graduating high school, I'm attending college again. Scared, but fun.
