How It Works
Digital Promise has designed a framework to guide the development of each micro-credential. This framework ensures that each micro-credential:
- Focuses on a single competency
- Has a key method that is backed by research
- Requires the submission of evidence
- Includes a rubric or scoring guide
Earning a Micro-credential
Once educators have selected micro-credentials they wish to earn, they develop the required evidence and submit it through the online platform. View sample micro-credentials here. Each micro-credential requires evidence such as:
- A project or lesson plan, including evaluation guides or scoring rubrics
- Student work samples
- Text, audio, or video of a classroom interaction
- Text, audio, or video of a teacher reflecting on the challenges faced and lessons learned while planning and teaching
- Text, audio, or video of a student reflecting on their learning
- Classroom observation results
To power our micro-credential system, Digital Promise has developed a platform that creates a seamless browsing experience for educators who are seeking competency-based recognition. Educators can begin exploring and applying for micro-credentials on the Digital Promise Platform.
