Is there any incentive for the districts from the county office to complete these trainings? Is there a cost for districts from the county?
Great question...as for the SCOE Badge Project there aren't really any incentives that we offer from our COE other than the possibility to win something cool that celebrating their adult learning. We do not charge for anyone to use the SCOE Badge Project. The only cost is we offer an optional badge basics class that teaches some of the prerequisites skills, but other than that, there is no cost.

To add to that, are any districts providing stipends for their teachers to complete these?

Are you getting any pushback from staff about doing this on their time...wanting to get paid?

Regarding the incentives for districts . . . I am sure each COE is different. At RCOE, we have a mix of free, or low cost PD. But we also offer the intensive Leading Edge Certifications (http://www.leadingedgecertification.org/) which is fee-based. One of the benefits of creating a digital badge hub at the county is that districts can piggyback off of our platform in order to 1) reduce their costs, and 2) have staff and students using one platform that can house badges from their district, the county, and other districts.

Thanks,

Thank you for the question.
We are taking a hybrid approach. Some of the badges are earned entirely virtually - for example, the Leading Edge Certification badges. Some other badge pathways include choices of synchronous online, asynchronous online, and face-to-face training. Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,
Dennis Large

Does Riverside county do everything digitally for badging? Is it all synchronous/asynchronous?
