REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO IMPLEMENT THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION MICRO-CREDENTIAL PILOT PROGRAM DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S OFFICE OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN AND THE HAWAII STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

Summary

The Senate has adopted a concurrent resolution urging the Department of Education to implement the National Education Association’s micro‑credential pilot program for public and charter school teachers. The program would be posted on the DOE’s professional‑development website, offered free to NEA and HSTA members and for a $75 fee to non‑members, and would count toward required PD credits. The Hawaii State Teachers Association will help with outreach and verification, and the DOE must report on the pilot’s results before the next legislative session.
