Microcredentials

Are you ready to get credit for what you already know? Are you ready to get skills you can put to use today? Are you ready to take control of your learning? Then you’re ready to get started on your personalized professional learning journey with 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 such as Bully Free Schools or English Language Learners. The OEA/NEA micro-credentials are created by educators, for educators and are grounded in research and best-practices designed to be:

  • Personalized: Create your own learning journey, based on your interests and career goals; gaps in your skills; and the needs of your students, school, district.
  • Flexible: You can study when it’s convenient for you, alone or with your peers.
  • Performance-based: Unlike “sit-and-get” training, micro-credentials are awarded based on demonstrated mastery of the subject matter.

OEA offers several ways for members to get started with micro-credentials and members can earn 1 graduate credit per completed micro-credential for just $50. To learn more, visit https://grow.oregoned.org/independent-study/micro-credentials.
