For the Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) certificate, students complete courses to prepare them to be evidence-based practitioners and researchers who integrate culturally responsive pedagogy and the cultural, language, cognitive and academic needs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners in community and classroom practices. If you have a teaching license, this certificate qualifies as the state-approved CLDE endorsement. All DU students can earn a stand-alone 24-credit certificate in Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Education or combine the certificate with one of our degree programs. Quick Facts: If you have a teaching license in Colorado, you'll be eligible to apply for the Colorado CORE endorsement through the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) after completing the certificate.
