TAN micro-credentials for Data and Analysis and Algorithms¶

Element · All elements
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The TAN project pairs its CT Booster sessions with micro-credentials that teachers can pursue in the same content areas. The deck lists "Micro-credentials: ● Data and Analysis ○ Analyzing and Communicating with Data ○ Collecting and Structuring Data ● Algorithms ○ Creating Algorithms". Each booster session includes a two-minute segment introducing the related micro-credential, linking the live virtual session to a competency-based recognition pathway.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A related micro-credential must exist for each session topic so it can be referenced in the session's micro-credential segment

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• K-8 teachers in rural Kentucky

Target Learning Goals¶

• Data collection, structuring, analysis and communication; algorithm creation

Claims¶
