Badging partnership to offer teachers college credit for PD - eSchool News

K-12 educators and admins to earn university professional development units with badge and micro-badge courses. Under a new partnership, PD Learning Network (PDLN) and University of the Pacific’s Center for Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE) will let K-12 educators earn university professional development units for skills they develop post-degree. “We feel privileged to enter into this partnership to offer educators more opportunities for recognition of their professional growth,” said Jennifer Gibson, CEO and co-founder of PDLN. “University of the Pacific’s CPCE is a natural match for educator micro-credentialing because of its emphasis on learners setting their own educational goals and their interest in credentialing educators in this rapidly changing environment.” http://www.eschoolnews.com/2016/03/11/badging-partnership-to-offer-teachers-college-credit-for-pd/
