PROFESSIONALISM

   Micro-Credentials are well known throughout the country as a way to personalize learning for educators. They are job embedded professional learning that is based on mastering specific competencies.  Educators identify a competency they want to develop, submit evidence that they have mastered the competency, and receive a digital badge once the evidence is approved.

We offer over 100 micro-credentials.

Each is developed by practicing educators across the country.

Each is evaluated and scored by an educator that has been extensively trained.

They take approximately 15 hours to complete and designed to be done over 6-8 weeks to demonstrate mastery of content.
