Highlights

  • The Nebraska Collaborative Learning Network (NCLN) offers free, flexible professional development, including microcredentials and expert-led courses for Nebraska educators.
  • Developed by UNO’s Department of Educational Leadership in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Education and UNO’s Division of Innovative and Learning-Centric Initiatives, NCLN addresses the unique needs of the state’s teachers and administrators.
  • NCLN connects participants through mentoring, networking, and a resource hub, fostering collaboration and innovation statewide.

The Department of Educational Leadership (EDL) at UNO is transforming professional learning for Nebraska educators with the launch of the Nebraska Collaborative Learning Network (NCLN).

Developed in collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) and supported by UNO’s Division of Innovative and Learning-Centric Initiatives, NCLN provides free, high-quality professional development designed specifically for Nebraska’s educational context.

NCLN offers Nebraska educators and educational leaders a unique opportunity to upskill without financial barriers. The program features a diverse range of expert-developed content, covering topics such as hope-based leadership, education policy advocacy, and K-3 early literacy. Participants can engage in flexible, online learning to earn microcredentials and badges, with all achievements documented through UNO’s microcredential system.

"This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting Nebraska’s educational leaders."

 Dr. Tami Williams

In addition to the courses, NCLN introduces networking and mentoring opportunities, along with a robust resource hub. These components ensure that educators can collaborate, grow professionally, and continue their development at their own pace, creating a community of innovation and shared expertise.

"This initiative underscores our commitment to supporting Nebraska’s educational leaders," said EDL Department Chair Tami Williams, Ed.D. "By addressing local challenges and opportunities, NCLN empowers educators to make a meaningful impact."

NCLN marks a significant step toward making high-quality professional learning accessible across Nebraska. For those interested in contributing content or engaging in this initiative, NCLN welcomes collaboration and new ideas to remain responsive to the needs of the state’s educators.
