Recognize and reward professional learning.
Open the Lines of Communication
Digital credentials assist in translating learning outcomes into validated skills that both educators and their employers can easily comprehend.
Recognize and Verify Achievement
Empower teachers and staff to provide evidence of the transferable skills that are needed in an ever-evolving professional education landscape.
Upskill, Reskill, and Hire the Best Fit
Digital badging opens up new ways to articulate competencies and accomplishments, verify skills, and identify opportunities within a school district for both existing and new educators and staff.
Drive Your District’s Mission
Discover, understand, and report on badging metrics and employee professional development achievements. Then architect pathways that illuminate the skills and accomplishments educators need to be lifelong learners.
Deliver Transparency
Badges provide teachers and staff agency over their training and career path by clearly communicating the institution-valued skills they previously demonstrated or have yet to earn.
THE TOOLS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP
Educator-owned professional development
Teachers and staff can share their Comprehensive Learner Record (LER)—a digital space where all learning and skills are brought together into one easily accessible, secure, and verifiable source of truth—no matter where or when they earned a skill or competency.
Onboard, train, and level up
Build learning journeys with pathways
Gamify accomplishments
