Developing on-demand and facilitated supports for educators and LEAs to go forward, not back, to equitable and excellent public schools in 2021-22
Digital Promise
Four in five educators engage in professional learning on their own time — time that is most often not recognized by their school systems. The educator micro-credentials initiative steps into that gap, offering personalized, competency-based, on-demand opportunities for educators to gain recognition for what they know and can do. Digital Promise and CTQ work to use micro-credentials as a tool to transform how educators learn and lead together.

Supports have helped CLI schools narrow achievement gaps, win statewide awards, navigate online learning transitions, and reorganize master schedules to maximize time, staff, and other resources. The third CLI cohort launches in fall 2020, bringing the initiative’s reach to a total of 33 schools across the state.
