Micro-Credentials

Credentials That Count

Childhood Education International works with Digital Promise, an organization dedicated to recognizing professional learning, to develop and host a series of micro-credentials that democratize educational knowledge and skills particularly in emergency and displacement settings.

What Are Micro-Credentials?

Micro-credentials are competency-based assessments of an educator’s areas of expertise. They are rigorous, self-paced professional development opportunities for educators who are looking for PD that builds from their own context. Micro-credentials are a way for teachers to personalize professional development and demonstrate their teaching competencies.
