Elevating Professional Learning Through Microcredentials
2022-02-07 10:30 - 12:00, 2022-02-10 10:30 - 12:00 | Virtual – Receive Link When Registered
Far too often, professional learning focuses on compliance (e.g., checking off another box or earning “hours”) rather than strengthening and demonstrating skills that affect student learning. Those participating in these more compliance-oriented professional learning activities may gain knowledge, but evidence suggests that this knowledge is unlikely to transfer into practice. Microcredentials, at their best, can help bridge this gap by providing educators with opportunities to take action and then reflect on the effect of that action.

A microcredential is defined as a performance-based assessment intended to allow the educator to demonstrate competency in a skill. If well-designed, microcredentials also align with what we know works in professional learning. Microcredentials are job-embedded, sustained, and relevant learning experiences that are focused on student outcomes. Educators completing microcredentials must document evidence of proficiency in the context of their work.

In this interactive workshop, Eric Carbaugh will provide essential information and lessons learned for schools and districts seeking to implement microcredentials. Key topics addressed include deciding whether to adopt existing microcredentials or design your own, tips for design and implementation, and an overview of the structures and supports necessary for success.

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will

Identify how microcredentials can support school or district goals as well as individual educator growth.

Understand ways in which microcredentials reflect high-quality professional learning.

Explore essential components of design and implementation.

Develop a plan for implementing microcredentials.

Tailoring instruction to meet the diverse needs of learners is difficult enough in face-to-face settings, let alone in the digital world. The recent challenges that accompany oscillating learning environments have shone a spotlight on the varying needs of students, leaving many teachers wondering if it’s possible to move all students forward while attending to their different learning needs.

This series of four interactive workshops led by Kristina Doubet will feature tools—both traditional and digital—that can help teachers engage, support, and challenge diverse learners in a variety of learning settings. Participants will experiment with tools and strategies, study classroom examples, and “meet” with colleagues to discuss how they might engage, support, and challenge every learner to take their next steps.

Session 1: Creating a Collaborative, Supportive, Interactive Learning Environment

Session 2: Strategies to Harness Interests and Learning Preferences

Session 3: Strategies to Differentiate for Readiness
