Overview

Learners are introduced to the platform and format and then learn on their own time and terms to earn a badge. The Digital Leadership and Learning Center has the following micro-credentials:

1. Empowering Learners Today and Beyond:
   Dig into research on the learners of today and how we can better meet their needs. Start looking at learner-centered practices that can change how students in your setting interact with learning. Go on a school visit and participate in a workshop if desired to support your learning
    
2. Learner-Centered Practices - The Essentials: Building relationships is key to supporting learners in your educational setting. You will look into key moves that can support relationships and build a learner-centered environment. You will also examine various models that support learner-centered practices and chose a project that supports a component from a model.
    
3. Learner-Centered Practices - Implementation: It is time to dig into more strategies and resources to support your learner-centered environment. We will connect with an expert and engage in real time studies to transform our practices.
    
4. Book Studies: Learners can read incredible books with online guidance and resources to support implementation of digital learning.

Micro-Credentials

Micro-credentialing is an opportunity for educators to learn on their own time, pace, and place. Learning is structured in an online platform with learning experiences, research, and application. Learning is supported with email and video conference communication to enable clarity and success.

Note: This is not graded, instead criteria are met and strategies implemented. The participants will engage in a problem to solve in their classrooms and apply learning to solve that problem with an action research project. They will plan, implement, reflect, and adjust for their final project. A peer will provide feedback to their project for further dialogue and growth.
