Action Based Learning Certifications

What's the difference between each certification?

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.

The School certification extends well beyond the lab to assist educators in becoming recognized leaders and experts on all things movement and learning, including creating active classrooms and schools and an overall culture of healthy, happy, engaged students using movement!

The District Certification allows you to train other teachers, educators, administrators, etc. throughout your school district! *Must have completed minimum of 1 year as a School Trainer first*

ABL-LF  Action Based Learning Certified Lab Facilitator

ABL recommends that each school that utilizes an ABL lab designate 1 ABL lab facilitator. This should be an individual who has shown strong interest and affinity for 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 ongoing care of the labs.  

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) 

COURSES REQUIRED:  ABL-101 ($195), ABL-102 ($195),  ABL-201 ($195),  ABL-210  ($195)
