The SUNY Micro‐Credentialing Task Force Report and Recommendations provides a comprehensive review of the current literature and growing national dialogue on micro‐credentials. It provides a 101 on micro-credentials, including evidence‐based best practices and ongoing efforts across many colleges and state systems to define and translate micro‐credentials. The work profiled the practical application of micro-credentials across SUNY’s 64 campuses to develop and/or implement micro‐credentials with the many benefits for students and programs. This report also provides IET developers with practical ways to fund their development, and support faculty and staff implementation buy-in, including strategies to translate the micro-credentials into college credit reflecting demonstrated skills and learning competencies.
One of the key benefits of the report is the inclusion of practical ways colleges can design and implement micro-credentials, including evidence‐based best practices. This resource is helpful for administrators and program directors when designing IETs, especially for NRS levels 1-3, as a way to reward learning and skill development in bite-size pieces and to incentivize retention. This report also provides IET developers with practical ways to fund their development, and support faculty and staff implementation buy-in, including strategies to translate the micro-credentials into college credit reflecting demonstrated skills and learning competencies.
