"@type": "Answer",
"text": "In K-12, Google for Education Premier Reference and Reference institutions are recognized for their deep, system-wide adoption of Google tools – like Google Workspace for Education Plus, Gemini, and Chromebooks – to drive positive learning outcomes. In higher education, universities and colleges are recognized as Gemini for Education Reference Institutions for their distinguished use of Google AI. Their deep, institution-wide integration of Gemini for Education and Gemini Notebook allows them to push the boundaries of what's possible in teaching, learning, and research. Regardless of the age of students served, a Reference Institution is eager to share their Google experience with others. They often host visitors on-site, share advice, tips, and best practices, and serve as public examples of successful technology integration and school transformation for others to learn from and get inspired by."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How is the Reference Program different from the Champions Program, or the Levels 1 and 2 Educator Certifications?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The Reference Program recognizes an entire educational institution for its collective achievement in technology integration and its role in shaping the future of education. The <a href="/intl/ALL_us/for-educators/communities/">Champions Program</a> and Google for Education Level 1 and Level 2 Educator Certifications recognize an individual educator for their accomplishments. While Champions (educators who have been certified by Google as a Coach, Trainer, Innovator, or GEG Leader) and certified educators will exist within each Reference Institution, their presence doesn’t automatically qualify an institution for the Reference Program. See “Who is eligible to join the Reference Program?” above."
