Digital Promise first launched our Micro-credential Policy Map in January 2020 to share valuable information on how states and districts across the U.S. were engaging with micro-credentials. Since then, micro-credential interest, earning, and pathways have only increased. The unique and pressing needs of the ongoing global pandemic accelerated the adoption of education technology and innovations that could support urgent and evolving needs and provide on-demand and flexible learning.

The pandemic set off a great deal of expanding and contracting in the education sector. Some companies and services became obsolete without the availability of face-to-face experiences.

At this point last year, we hoped we’d be on the other side of COVID-19. Instead, the combination of the Delta variant and a new school year means educators and administrators are finding themselves in a state of flux. Cases in school districts are on the rise. Large numbers of students are quarantining. In some instances, there aren’t enough teachers in school buildings to conduct in-person learning.

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”. You’ve probably been told this Theodore Roosevelt quote in reference to students. Now, re-read that as a coach and think about it in terms of the teachers you support: Do your teachers know you care about them? Empathy is a critical factor in accomplishing that.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
