About

Connect yourself with free, online, professional learning opportunities that give the tools you need to provide your students with universal behavioral supports in a culturally-appropriate and trauma-informed manner. 

WebPD courses are taught via Canvas LMS with facilitated discussion boards. The course structure is five weekly asynchronous, self-paced modules with a balance of research, theory, and practical application.

What is a microcredential?

A micro-credential is a short, competency-based program that allows an educator to demonstrate mastery in a particular area.

Micro-credential recognition varies by institution.

What does it cost?

The 12 credit micro-credential is normally $730.

There is currently no cost ($0) for completing the program. Cambia Health Foundation has provided funding to cover the tuition of these courses this year.

How do I enroll?

To earn an SBMH microcredential through SOU, you must complete:

  • 12 x 1 credit courses (each WebPD counts as 1)
