Demonstrate teaching competencies through performance-based artifacts¶

Description¶

The article specifies that micro-credentials are "Performance-based—demonstrated through artifacts," listing lesson, project, and unit plans; student work samples; teacher and student reflections; observations; videos of teacher and student interaction; and peer and self evaluations and reviews. This strategy makes professional learning evidence-based: rather than counting seat time in formal professional development, educators assemble authentic artifacts showing the competency in practice, which assessors evaluate against publicly available criteria.
