IMPORTANT: You will not be able to complete the micro-credential until your coursework has been verified, and you have received the final certificate for your Basics for All Staff Certificate Program. You must purchase both the Basics for All Staff Certificate and the micro-credential to receive the micro-credential.
Upon completion of your coursework, demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the foundations for trauma-informed care by responding to a case scenario and earn the Foundations for Trauma-Informed Care Micro-Credential digital badge by clicking the add-on micro-credential badge.
When you complete a micro-credential program you will earn a digital badge, or a series of digital badges. A digital badge is an icon, but it is not a static image in that it is click-able, and houses information, including the issuing institution, the date earned, the criteria required to earn the badge, and the evidence that shows that you have met the required criteria. Digital badges are dynamic credentials that YOU own, so you can decide how you want to use them. Digital badges can be put on social media sites, added as a link on your digital résumé, embedded in your e-portfolio, and more.
Upon completion of the “Trauma-Informed Organization - Basics for All Staff” coursework, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding in an application exercise.
