Are you curious about how micro-credentials can improve professional practice?
Education leaders from Arkansas, Wyoming, South Carolina, and North Carolina partnered to develop a new resource for incorporating micro-credentials into each state’s comprehensive system of professional learning.
Who We Are
The Arkansas State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) is a five-year grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. At SPDG, we are committed to transforming and expanding Arkansas’ statewide coherent system of supports through competency-based professional learning and ongoing coaching to increase the implementation of high-leverage and other evidence-based practices at the regional, district, and school levels. Our hope is to shift from a one-size-fits-all professional development system to a targeted, individualized multi-tiered approach to professional learning.
