A Beginner's Guide to Micro-Credentialing - STEM JOBS | Professional Learning for Busy Educators | Scoop.it
To sharpen skills and ensure their teaching methods fit within district education missions, teachers are opting out of continuing education courses in favor of micro-credentialing. Through this method, teachers outline how study in a specific area will benefit student educational goals. If necessary, once a teacher’s proposal is approved by district leaders, they will continue his or her education through completing the appropriate program. Evidence of understanding is uploaded and vetted by the organization that provides the coursework. Teachers earn badges upon successful completion of program materials.
