At the end of the school year, the teachers documented how they applied close-reading instruction in class and how it impacted student learning. A panel of educators reviewed the submissions, and the best earned those teachers salary increases worth several hundred dollars.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Teacher &#8220;micro-credentialing&#8221; is an effort to make professional development more\u00a0personalized, engaging, and relevant to teachers. There is no formal, agreed-upon definition for a micro-credential. Indeed, the term itself irritates some because of its vagueness and because it implies an independent, accredited stamp of approval from some kind of government body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In any case,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalpromise.org\/page\/-\/dpdocuments\/microcredentials\/making_professional_learning_count.pdf?nocdn=1\" target=\"_blank\">the idea refers to bite-sized competencies<\/a>\u00a0that, via samples of student work, videos, and other artifacts, teachers show that they&#8217;ve mastered to students&#8217; or colleagues&#8217; benefit. Then, in vetting each teacher&#8217;s submission, the micro-credential&#8217;s authorizer either asks the teacher to go back and dig deeper, or approves the submission\u2014sometimes issuing the teacher a digital &#8220;badge&#8221; to represent attainment of the skill.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be sure, supporters say, micro-credentials don&#8217;t replace traditional professional-development channels so much as give them focus and coherence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;We&#8217;re agnostic about how you actually develop these skills,&#8221; said Karen Cator, the chief executive officer of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalpromise.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Promise<\/a>, a nonprofit group that last fall unveiled a platform on which educators can earn some 120 micro-credentials, from one on disaggregating data to one on classroom management. &#8220;There are just so many ways of learning things, and we want to see many more opportunities, whether it&#8217;s through online communities of practice, watching videos, talking to your peers, getting a coach. It&#8217;s an expansive view of professional learning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To read more about micro-credentialing, see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edweek.org\/ew\/articles\/2016\/03\/30\/can-micro-credentialing-salvage-teacher-pd.html?cmp=eml-enl-tu-news2\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.edweek.org\/ew\/articles\/2016\/03\/30\/can-micro-credentialing-salvage-teacher-pd.html?cmp=eml-enl-tu-news2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent blog post from Education Week takes a look at the current state of professional development for teachers and finds a brave new world of &#8220;micro-credentialing.&#8221;
