InTASC-Aligned Micro-credentials

The Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC)-aligned micro-credentials are designed to prepare educators to guide students toward career- and college-readiness.

What is InTASC? 

The Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) is a consortium of state education agencies and national educational organizations dedicated to the reform of the preparation, licensing, and on-going professional development of teachers. InTASC has been working to develop model policy that states can use as a resource as they work to align their own teacher licensing systems. To date they have developed a set of core standards for the licensing of new teachers, describing what new teachers should know, how they should perform, and the necessary disposition for effective teaching.

InTASC-Aligned Micro-credentials

BloomBoard’s dedicated instructional experts have analyzed these nationally recognized standards and defined the skills and competencies that align to them. Based on this information, a set of INTASC-aligned micro-credentials was developed. The micro-credentials provide a cohesive system of competency-based training for educational leaders, and can be integrated into career pathway structures, as well as licensure certification, and professional development programs.

 The InTASC-aligned competencies are organized into topic clusters. The following provides a brief overview of the importance of each cluster of micro-credentials:
