Micro-credentials for Global Competence
Educators engage in both formal and informal professional learning activities but are rarely recognized for their informal learning. Micro-credentials do! They are a natural extension of educators’ professional learning journeys: competency-based, on-demand, personalized, and sharable.
World Savvy, in partnership with Digital Promise Global, developed an initial stack of eight micro-credentials to recognize educators for effectively supporting students develop global competence. Micro-credentials can help you earn graduate credit, or can count for continuing education in multiple states. Use the link below to see the Global Competence stack, and visit the Digital Promise website to learn more.
Learning Studios Teacher Guide & Project…
In the Learning Studio program, learners define the problems they want to solve and design solutions to address them. Leveraging powerful technology, students engage in activities and projects that expose them to skills and concepts such as design thinking, three dimensional design, and social entrepreneurship.
All educators can access the Teacher Guide & Project Library, which provides pedagogical insight and examples of practical application to help you maximize the teaching and learning experience. Projects are categorized according to Webb's Depth of Knowledge framework. Which projects will help your students build up to the "Global Goals, Local Solutions" challenge?
