“Educators need to have the knowledge and skills to take full advantage of technology-rich learning environments...” “In addition, the roles of PK-12 classroom teachers…and learners all will need to shift as technology enables new types of learning experiences.”
“Develop a common set of technology competency expectations for university professors and candidates exiting teacher preparation programs for teaching in technologically enabled schools and post-secondary education institutions” (U.S. DOE, 2016, 37).
4 Goals for Teacher Prep Programs ● Focusing on the active use of technology to enable learning and
teaching through creation, production, and problem solving. ● Building sustainable, program-wide systems of professional learning
for higher education instructors to strengthen and continually refresh their capacity to use technological tools to enable transformative learning and teaching.
● Ensuring pre-service teachers’ experiences with educational
technology are program-deep and program-wide rather than one-off courses separate from their methods courses.
● Aligning the above efforts with research-based standards, frameworks,
and credentials recognized across the field.
Competencies &
Microcredentials

Badges as Micro-‐creden/als
• Receive recogni4on for smaller chunks of learning
• Easier to communicate skills to employers and other interested par4es
• Metadata makes data open, providing greater insights into person’s skills (viewer could even re-‐grade the submiBed project if they wanted to)
• Be recognized for what doesn’t show on a transcript • If you can document it, you can badge it!

Micro Badges for Teacher Education
Consisting of: • Leading Educational Technology-related Professional Associations • Leading Teacher Preparation Institutions, and • Leading School Districts To: • Develop the Teacher Educator Competencies into Micro-credentials • For Teacher Educators AND K-12 Teachers • Endorsed by professional organizations by • Adding criteria and defining the evidence required • Developing rubrics with which to assess the evidence • Sharing the Micro-credentials across universities • Encouraging Districts to get serious about technology-related preparation
Should we host a working group?
Efficacy of
Educational Technologies
Rapid Cycle Evaluations for Ed Tech tech.ed.gov/rcte
Districts Rely More on Peer Recommendations and Pilots than Rigorous Evidence
Take
Too Long
+
Too Expensive
Not Iterative
Serve Different Purposes
traditional research
= high confidence of certainty of
causal connections
Rapid Cycle Evaluations for Ed Tech
• Project will provide a platform and resources for districts to evaluate ed tech products
• Platform will be free, publicly available, and under an open license
• Designed for ed tech, but easily adapted to other research questions
