In our four-part Digital Badging Playbook video series, we outlined the steps needed to launch a digital badging program in your school or district. Now, thanks to our friends at Badge List, we've taken that concept one step further and launched a free, no-strings badge group for you to start using as a P.D. resource today.
The Future-Ready Teachers badge group is based on all the concepts we've come to associate with future readiness, including personalized learning, digital citizenship, and data literacy. We'll review the submitted evidence and take care of issuing the badges; no need for you to do anything but learn, grow, and build your online portfolio.
*As an added bonus, teachers who earn three badges will be granted a free Badge List K-12 teacher account to use with students.

- BlendEd Track (3 Tiers): This pathway is focused on the effective blending of technology into the classroom.
- Data Magic Track (3 Tiers): Teachers will be pushed to use data to inform their instruction and personal growth.
- Digital Media Track (3 Tiers): Teachers will be challenged to weave blogging, videos, and podcasts into lessons and communications.
- Mentor Maestro: Because those who pay it forward should be rewarded for their efforts.
- Model Citizen: For teachers who not only preach good digital citizenship, but model it in their own online presence.
- Parent Engagement Track (3 Tiers): A learning pathway for teachers who want to improve classroom transparency and create consistent, personalized communication habits.
