The lunches are packed, the supplies have been purchased, the classrooms are decorated, and we’re off and running on our third school year in the shadow of COVID-19.

digiLEARN's Beverly Perdue and Myra Best discuss a road map for the state in a new interview with New America.

As part of its work with the digiLEARN-led NC Partnership for Micro-credentials, New America analyzed the national landscape of educator micro-credentials to determine how to best harness their potential to more successfully attract, develop, and retain great teachers.

The NC Partnership for Micro-Credentials commissioned RTI International to conduct a feasibility study of their mission, vision and goals given the state’s context and current system for teacher professional learning.

digiLEARN founder Gov. Bev Perdue and digiLEARN Board Members Gov. Jim Geringer and Gov. Bob Wise participated in an engaging discussion with education experts on innovative policies and practices to reshape and provide a more equitable public education for each child.

Lawmakers at the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee heard about attempts to make micro-credentials a statewide system of professional development during a meeting on Tuesday.

Technology is no longer an extra but an essential, as fundamental as electricity or water for our schools, homes and businesses. As 1.1 million North Carolina K-12 students begin fully remote or blended learning as a result of COVID-19, it is time to invest in technology infrastructure to close the digital divide, stop COVID slide and encourage full economic recovery for our state.
