The Latest News and Views in
Competency-based Professional Learning

Hello there,

We've been seeing the momentum continue to build for micro-credential interest and implementation. Nearly a thousand education professionals watched our last webinar where state leaders discussed how they are laying the foundations for micro-credentials — for specific certifications, alternative teacher licensure, and modifying existing professional learning requirements.

I'm looking forward to our next webinar this Thursday, where we shift to a district lens on micro-credentials. Heather Clayton Staker, founder of Ready to Blend,  will be moderating a panel of district leaders that champion micro-credential implementation. You won't want to miss this.

Best,

Sanford Kenyon
CEO, BloomBoard
