Micro-credentials are a competency based recognition that allow an educator to demonstrate skills, knowledge, or performance in a particular area. Over 200 NEA micro-credentials in different areas are available! In our orientation, participants will learn what an NEA micro-credential is, choose a micro-credential to complete, and plan for next steps.

While completing certain specific micro-credentials will meet the equity or STEM certificate renewal requirements, this orientation itself does not meet the equity or STEM requirement. This orientation meets the Leadership certificate renewal requirement.
