Components

  • KVEC stack of over 18 free competency-based micro-credentials hosted on the Digital Promise Micro-credential Platform: The Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative, through a grant partnership with Digital Promise, created "a stack of over 18 micro-credentials focused primarily on the needs of students experiencing poverty, as well as special education populations." The credentials are free, competency-based professional learning opportunities for rural K-12 educators, hosted on the Digital Promise Micro-credential Platform and available to the public. Teachers leverage them to personalize continuing education credits and increase their rank, and schools adopt them whole-faculty or via team leads based on school data and student demographics.
