LEARN & LEAD 7 SUMMER 2023 | ADVOCATE MICRO-CREDENTIALS What is a micro-credential? A micro-credential is a short, competency-based recognition that allows an educator to demonstrate mastery in a particular area. NEA micro- credentials are: • personalized: You can create your own learning journey, based on your interests and career goals, gaps in your skills, and the specific needs of your students, school, and district. • flexible: You can study when it's convenient for you, alone or with your peers. • performance-based: Unlike "sit-and-get" certifications, NEA micro-credentials are awarded based on demonstrated mastery of the subject matter, not just for showing up. How does it work? Micro-credentials are flexible. You can choose to learn on your own, or join a learning community and support each other through the process. e process is rigorous, so working with a group can help you earn your micro- credential sooner. Ready to get started? • Go to nea.certificationbank.com/arizona to get started. • Select a skill you have developed or would like to develop.
