Leading Systemic Change Initiatives

Micro-Credentialing 
Career Pathways
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, has partnered with Bloomboard to develop a professional learning ecosystem that empowers educators to personalize their own learning. Traditional PD mandates seat time and limits the opportunity to apply newly learned skills to the classroom. Micro-credentials in CMS provide the opportunity for educators to demonstrate mastery through a competency-based approach. CMS commits to provide professional learning with a purpose through personalized learning experiences by synthesizing new ideas with implementation to make an impact on professional practice.

​Through a grant funded initiative with DPI, CMS is piloting micro-credentialing around the North Carolina Digital Learning Competencies for teachers.
