Yes. What may shift is what we call them (micro-credential, certificate, etc.), but the demand and economic shift is there. insidehighered.com/news/2020/08/2…

The challenges for the K-12 world are painful, real, & continuing. It's why we at @WGU TC are leaning hard into NextGen Teaching Series to support teaching online & parapro-to-teacher pathways to power learn & earn pathways for rising teachers. More to do! azfamily.com/news/arizona_s…

"#Highered can’t limit itself to a degree-only mindset." The 4-yr degree is designed to prepare students for their 1st opportunity, but there's unprecedented demand for education and training options designed to help Americans reach their next opportunity. bit.ly/2S5LZ5p

Opening pathways to teaching is a passion of Western Governors U. --particularly for those wanting to make a difference in underserved communities & for those who need to work while they complete their degrees (especially paraprofessionals!). Here's one more resource! wgu.edu/financial-aid-…

"How might we embed short-term credentials into associate degrees and bachelor degrees? How can we make sure short-term credentials are a first step, not a last step?" Danette Howard Lumina Foundation #SparkAShift

Here's hoping all states and territories begin to prioritize our #teachers and educational staff for vaccination. It matters for their safety, our kids learning, our economy's functioning, and our society's well being. Let's not make it political--its practical. #COVIDfrontlines

Breaking news from U.S. Department of Education on the #NACIQI vote to terminate federal recognition of #ACICS. Western Governors U. welcomes higher, outcomes-based standards for institutional quality that ensure #highered's value for students. Pathways to nowhere, w/ little to no ROI, have no place in our system.

Learner-earners need the ability to seamlessly curate & articulate #skills & #credentials. I'm glad to see U.S. Department of Education's recommendation regarding digital learning records. bit.ly/3vuRlZh

Some #communitycolleges are looking toward new approaches to help more students complete their credentials, including students of color. They’re trying better advising, flexible schedules, and other supports to increase enrollment. #HigherEd Lumina Foundation ccdaily.com/2021/09/design…
