- 1. Badges? Badges? Wedon’t need no stinking badges! Except Today’s Workforce Does Brenda Perea and Katie Woodmansee
- 2. The problem … Fragmented,multi-layered, complex “system” that doesn’t work well for employers, individuals or educators Highly diverse and decentralized Many actors: • Schools • Industry groups • Occupational groups • Licensing boards • Accreditors • and more Many types of credentials Different: • purposes • quality assurance mechanisms • metrics for awarding Difficult to understand Credentialing Marketplace Public and employer policies struggle to keep pace with new developments

- 4. What is aCredential? A documented award by a responsible and authorized body that has determined that an individual has achieved specific learning outcomes or attained a defined level of knowledge or skill relative to a given standard. Umbrella term that includes: • Degrees • Certificates • Industry/Professional Certifications • Licenses • Badges

- 6. Potential attributes ofa “new” system • All learning matters wherever it’s obtained • All credentials are based on learning outcomes (competencies) • Credentials are portable, transferrable, transparent, useful and easily understood by learners, workers, employers • Increases access and equity for all learners • Helps learners, workers and employers make informed choices about their investment in and value of the credential they’re purchasing • Helps employers better qualify employees and reduce recruiting time, employee turn-over, and cost of retraining • Builds a competitive, highly skilled workforce • Dynamic system – agility to be relevant in rapidly changing labor markets Learning- Based & Learner- Centered
- 7. Creating Relationships BetweenOther Credentials (Badges) • Opportunity for real modularizing and stacking • Badges can represent specific competencies • Can stand alone or link with other credentials • Can capture learning missed by other credentials • Vehicle for agility in credentialing Learning- Based & Learner- Centered
- 8. Traditional Learning Credentials •As a community we have given information on a transcript implicit meaning • Grades, certificates and degrees are a visual representation of mastery
- 9. Colorado’s Vision….. Create aseries of digital badges which are: • Competency and skill based • Industry driven • Community centered • Learner focused Provides enhancement of: current certificates and degrees while highlighting workforce demanded competencies not evident in courses, certificates, degrees Evidence of value is based on recognition of the demonstrated mastery Evidence includes: • Assessments • Testing • Portfolio of work • Certifications • Field work in real time documented with images, video Allows a person to differentiate themselves within a competitive workforce

Colorado Career Cluster Model: • Agriculture & Energy • Advanced Manufacturing • IT • Health Science & Public Safety • Hospitality & Education • Business & Public Administration • Business and Industry round tables to discuss current educational delivery and what was really needed • Viewed badges with a jobs driven approach • Identified how the learner/earner would value badges
- 11. Biggest Challenges toDigital Badges As Main Stream Micro-Credentials Lack of awareness
- 12. Digital Badge Potential… •Capturing latent talent using unified language • Motivate learners • Creating transparent pathways • Display achievements • Building a digital portfolio or academic transcript At CCCS, every badge issued or accepted is tied to a specific standard or competency with evidence of micro-learning valued in the workforce.
- 13. Viability of theEcosystem is dependent on: Issuing Badges •Identify granular competencies Competencies •Measure mastery Assessments •Compile the meta data Metadata •Issue digital credential Badges • Transcript PLA • Identify and crosswalk Competencies • Review Metadata • Access the digital badge Display ACCEPTING BADGES
- 14. Badge Types: Fourunique emblems for résumé worthy achievements Proficient Knowledge A proficient performer has academic knowledge and formal training •Informal and formal education •Experience making situation discriminations that enables recognition of approaches for solving the problems •At this badge class, intuitive reactions replace reasoned responses. Expert Skills The expert is able to see what needs to be achieved and how to achieve it •Answer questions •Make more refined and subtle discriminations than proficient •Tailors an approach and method to each situation based on an elevated skill level. Master Authority The master has developed superior standards and effectiveness of knowledge •Ability to evaluate effectiveness and application of knowledge •Utilizes extending expertise within a domain with their own synthesis of tools and methods. •Ability to teach or train other to become an expert. Excellence Distinguished Deep understanding of highly complex subjects •Deep expertise, exceeding the skill level of experienced professionals •Influences and mentors others to help them make the best use of skills, knowledge, aptitude and solutions •Among the most trusted advisors, helps grow and nurture the community of like-minded individuals.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Badges? Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges! Except We Do in Today’s Workplace
- #3 We know that the range of students served by our educational system and the range of their needs for credentials is greater than ever. Many of today’s postsecondary students no longer conform to a traditional profile of the newly minted high school graduate in pursuit o a 2/4 year degree. They enter into a system that is a Fragmented, multi-layered, complex “system” that doesn’t work well for employers, individuals or educators Highly diverse and decentralized Many actors: schools, industry groups, occupational groups, licensing boards, accreditors, and more Many types of credentials Different purposes Different quality assurance mechanisms Different metrics for awarding Difficult to understand Public and employer policies struggle to keep pace with new developments In short, the credentialing world is confusing, at times even chaotic. To enhance the utility of credentials and reduce costs borne by individuals and employers, we need a common language – a unified analytic framework that helps stakeholders compare the value and suitability of different types of credentials.
- #4 Micro-Credential Divide - Ed Tech Enthusiasts are the innovators, then those that are straddling the chasm are the early adopters and the early majority. Those in the mainstream are the late majority and the laggards.
