Action Based Learning Certifications
----
ABL-LF (Action Based Learning - Lab Facilitator)
ABL recommends that each school that utilizes an ABL lab, designates 1 ABL lab facilitator. This should be an individual that has shown strong interest and affinity towards Action Based Learning implementation. The role of the Lab Facilitator is to provide structure to the ABL program in the areas of scheduling, set-up, room layout, student progressions, and on-going care of the labs.
The Lab facilitator certification is a specialized certification specifically for implementing, managing, and enhancing the effectiveness of your ABL Lab. This certification is designed for Lab Facilitators or educators and administrators involved in creating and maintaining a successful lab in your school. NOTE: The school and district certification (described below) extend well beyond the lab, to assist educators in becoming a recognized leader and expert on all things movement and learning, including creating active classrooms, active schools, and overall culture of healthy, happy, engaged students, using movement!
A total of 4 courses are required. These courses can be purchased in a bundle upfront, or you may pay for each course as you go. There is no limit on the time to complete the certification. Some educators may prefer to space out their courses, and enroll in 1 course every few months. Others may take all 4 courses consecutively, to speed up the process of becoming certified. With this in mind, the time to obtain certification varies. (Average time to complete: 2-4 months)
4 COURSES REQUIRED: ABL-101 ($195), ABL-102 ($195), ABL-201 ($195), ABL-210 ($195)
