Dr. Stephen Eversole and Dr. Jim Hoko join Rose to discuss micro-credentials. These are digital certifications that recognize mastery in a specific skill set, offering a flexible and targeted way to demonstrate expertise. Backed by blockchain technology, micro-credentials serve as trustworthy and verifiable indicators of assessed knowledge, skills, and competency. They allow individuals to niche down and focus on particular areas relevant to their professional growth. Many micro-credentials are stackable, meaning they can accumulate to form larger qualifications, providing a pathway to advanced expertise while addressing the unique needs of organizations and employers.
As an innovative addition to education, micro-credentials enable professionals to highlight their skills beyond minimum competency, showcasing their dedication to continuous learning and specialization. For instance, as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), earning micro-credentials can differentiate you in the field by documenting your specialized knowledge and hard-earned competencies. Recognizing the growing importance of micro-credentials, BDS is actively working on developing standards for their verification through demonstration, training, and more. One upcoming micro-credential will focus on the Appropriate and Effective Use of Experimental Design in Applied Contexts, setting a new benchmark for the field and aiding professionals in documenting and showcasing their expertise.
