Learning Journeys

A micro-credential learning journey offers educators a deep dive into a specific topic. By completing a set of 4 micro-credentials, you will engage in practical, hands-on activities that directly apply to your teaching practice. You will learn at your own pace and demonstrate your proficiency through authentic assessments. Each micro-credential is designed to be job-embedded and relevant to your professional practice. At the end of your journey, you will have completed about 60 hours of work and have earned 4 micro-credentials that showcase your commitment to continuous professional growth and excellence in education. You will have the opportunity to upload a final reflection on the entire process and will be awarded a Certification of Completion for the Learning Journey.

These journeys can be taken alone or with a team. If working with a team, you each must submit your own work. It is highly recommended that you view this video before your team digs in.
