Become a Hāpara Champion!
The Hāpara Champion certification program has been awarded an International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Seal of Alignment against the ISTE Standards for Educators.
By addressing the ISTE Standards and earning a Seal of Alignment, the Hāpara Champion certification program is shown to consciously, purposefully and meaningfully support best practices for digital age teaching and learning.
ISTE considers alignment to the ISTE Standards only after an extensive review conducted by trained ISTE Seal of Alignment reviewers.

I am very glad that I chose to apply to and participate in the Hāpara Champion professional development series. While many applications provide training or certification in some form so that those desiring to comprehensively master all of the tools and features in the application and the underlying philosophies behind them can do so, the Hāpara Champion series was, without a doubt, the singular program that most equipped me to support administrators, teachers and students in the use of its corresponding application.
